$A$ particle of mass $m$ is projected at an angle $\alpha$ to the horizontal with initial velocity $u \ m/s$. What is the work done by gravity during the time it reaches its highest point?

  • A
    $u^2 \sin^2 \alpha$
  • B
    $\frac{m u^2 \cos^2 \alpha}{2}$
  • C
    $-\frac{m u^2 \sin^2 \alpha}{2}$
  • D
    $\frac{m u^2 g \sin^2 \alpha}{2}$
