Question

You toss a ball into the air at an angle 40° from the horizontal. At what point in the ball's trajectory does the ball have the smallest speed? (Neglect the effects due to air resistance) just after it is tossed just before it hits the ground halfway between the ground and the highest point on the rise of the trajectory halfway between the ground and the highest point on the fall of the trajectory at the highest point in its flight
