Air friction is negligible. Point Q is the highest point on the path. Points P and R are the same height above the ground. 8. How do the speeds of the ball at the three points compare? (A)

\mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{P}}<\mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{Q}}<\mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{R}}

(B)

\mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{R}}<\mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{Q}}<\mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{P}}

(C)

\mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{Q}}<\mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{R}}<\mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{P}}

(D)

\mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{Q}}<\mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{P}}=\mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{R}}
