$A$ body is thrown vertically upwards with a velocity $u$. Find the true statement from the following:

  • A
    Both velocity and acceleration are zero at its highest point.
  • B
    Velocity is maximum and acceleration is zero at the highest point.
  • C
    Velocity is maximum and acceleration is $g$ downwards at its highest point.
  • D
    Velocity is zero at the highest point and maximum height reached is $u^2 / 2g$.
