A body projected vertically from the earth reaches a height equal to earth's radius before returning to the earth. The power exerted by the gravitational force is greatest
Options
- Aat the instant just before the body hits the earth
- Bit remains constant all through
- Cat the instant just after the body is projected
- Dat the highest position of the body
