As we learnt in

Kinetic energy -

k= \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}

- wherein

m\rightarrow mass

v\rightarrow velocity

kinetic Energy is never negative

 

 

Initial kinetic energy E=\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}

Kinetic energy at highest point =\frac{1}{2}m\left (v cos45^{o} \right )^{2}

 

    =\frac{1}{2}\left (\frac{1}{2}mv^{2} \right )=\frac{E}{2}

Correct answer is 3.
