At the top of a projectile's path, its vertical velocity is:
Positive
Zero
Negative
Answer explanation
If it were positive, it'd still be going up (so not the top), and if it were negative, it'd have already come down!
Alternatively, the projectile has to switch from going up (positive velocity) to going down (negative velocity) by passing through zero.
