Solution

The speed of a projectile is minimum at the highest point. This is because the vertical component of the velocity becomes zero at the highest point. The only velocity the projectile has at the highest point is the horizontal velocity. Therefore, the speed (which is the magnitude of the velocity) is minimum at the highest point.
