A body is thrown vertically upwards. At the highest point:
AVelocity is zero, acceleration is zero
BVelocity is zero, acceleration is 'g'
CVelocity is 'g', acceleration is zero
DBoth are maximum
✓ Correct Answer: B — Velocity is zero, acceleration is 'g'
At the peak, motion momentarily stops (v=0), but gravity still acts on the body (a=g).
