* Momentum is a vector quantity: This means it has both magnitude (how much) and direction.
* At the highest point, the ball momentarily stops: Before falling back down, the ball's upward velocity reaches zero.
* Zero velocity means zero momentum: Since momentum is mass times velocity (p = mv), if the velocity is zero, the momentum is also zero.
Important Note: While the ball's momentum is zero at the highest point, its potential energy is at its maximum.
