1.The maximum kinetic energy occurs at the top of the ball's trajectory and the maximum gravitational potential energy occurs at the top of the ball's trajectory.
2.The maximum kinetic energy occurs at the point of release and the maximum gravitational potential energy occurs at the point of release.
3.The maximum kinetic energy occurs at the point of release and the maximum gravitational potential energy occurs at the top of the ball's trajectory.
