Please post your work in detail so we can check it. Thanks.Bilal Rajab Abbasi said:
But the initial KE includes both the horizontal and vertical components, no? It looks like you are taking the initial vertical KE to be 1/4 of the horizontal KE at the top... Maybe I'm not understanding what you wrote...Bilal Rajab Abbasi said:
No. Providing solutions (and asking to be provided solutions) is against the forum rules, which you agreed to when you signed up.Bilal Rajab Abbasi said:

Projectile motion is the motion of an object through the air under the influence of gravity. It follows a curved path called a parabola.
The kinetic energy at the top of the parabolic arc is calculated using the equation KE = 1/2 * m * v^2, where m is the mass of the object and v is the velocity at the top of the arc.
The KE at the top of the parabolic arc is affected by the mass and velocity of the object, as well as the angle at which it is launched and any external forces acting on it (such as air resistance).
The KE of an object is directly proportional to its speed. This means that as the speed of the object increases, the KE also increases.
Knowing the KE at the top of the parabolic arc can help us understand how much energy the object has at that point, and how it will continue to move along its path. It also allows us to calculate other important variables, such as the maximum height and range of the object's motion.
