A boy throws a ball off of a second floor balcony by throwing it up into the air at some angle above horizontal. It comes back down, landing on the ground. Neglecting air resistance, the magnitude of velocity is greatest: A) just after it leaves the boy’s hand B) at the peak of the ball’s trajectory C) just before it hits the ground D) it remains the same throughout the motion E) impossible to tell without knowing the angle of projection
