A projectile of mass m is fired with velocity v at an angle theta with the horizontal what is the change in momentum as the projectile rises to the maximum height

as vertical component of velocity becomes zero at highest point but horizontal component does not change 
Initial momentum = m×v
Final momentum = m×vcos\Theta
Change in momentum = final - initial momentum = mv(cos\Theta -1)

Dear 
At starting point 
ux = ucosQ
uy = usinQ
At heighest point 
Vx = ucosQ 
Vy =0 
Change in velocity along x axis = o 
Change in velocity along  y axis = - usonQ
Net change in velocity = -usinQ 
Change in momentum = -musinQ

at the highest point projectile have only horizontal velocity that is vcos\Theta. so change in momentum in x direction, is mvcos\Theta-mvcos\Theta=0.change in momentum in y direction is 0-mvsin\Theta=-mvsin\Theta. finally change in momentum is    -mvsin\Theta
