  • A
    $25 \ m/s$
  • B
    $\frac{2}{5} \ m/s$
  • C
    $\frac{5}{2} \ m/s$
  • D
    $5 \ m/s$

$A$ ball $P$ is projected at an angle of $60^{\circ}$ with the vertical with a certain initial speed $u$. Another ball $Q$ of the same mass $m$ as that of ball $P$ is projected vertically upwards with the same initial speed $u$. At the highest point, the ratio of the potential energy of ball $P$ to that of ball $Q$ is $(\sin 30^{\circ} = 0.5)$.
