A body projected vertically from the earth reaches a height equal to earth’s radius before returning to the earth. The power exerted by the gravitational force:

1. is greatest at the instant just before the body hits the earth.
2. remains constant throughout.
3. is greatest at the instant just after the body is projected.
4. is greatest at the highest position of the body.
