When you throw a ball up in the air, what is the term when it's velocity reaches 0?

Question

When you throw a ball up in the air, is there a word for the point in time when it stops and for a split second it's just suspended in motion before it comes back down?

Answer 1

retardation

Answer 2

It is stationary at only one instant.  This is not a finite length of time (even less than a split second) But I know what you meant so ill stop being picky.

There are many words you could use to describe that point.  for example:  Maximum, apogee, stationary point, zenith.

It has nothing to do with Terminal Velocity.

Answer 3

The Zenith I think....

Answer 4

terminal velocity

Answer 5

static?

Answer 6

you could refer to it reaching the vertex of its path.

just a thought

Answer 7

There is no particular word for the point in time, but the highest point in space is called the zenith.

Answer 8

that is the period of waitlessness, and it is called zero G

Answer 9

HEADS!
