Potential energy
Question

A particle is fired with speed u making angle θ with the horizontal. Its potential energy at the highest point is

Easy
Solution

The vertical component of velocity is reduced to zero. The corresponding kinetic energy is converted into potential energy

 P.E. =mgH = mgu2sin2θ2g=12mu2sin2θ
