A projectile is launched so that its point of launch is higher than its landing point. a. When is the vertical velocity at a maximum? b. When is the horizontal velocity at a maximum? c. When is the vertical velocity at a minimum? d. What is the acceleration of the object at the very top of its path? e. Which will take longer: the upward motion or the downward motion?

At the top of the trajectory of a projectile, the acceleration is a. maximum b. minimum c. zero d. $g$
A projectile is launched upward from ground level with an initial speed of $60 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$ (a) How long does it take for the projectile to reach its highest point? (b) How high does the projectile go? (c) How long does it take for the projectile to drop back to the ground from its highest point? (d) What is the speed of the projectile when it hits the ground?
