NEET2022PhysicsMotion in Two DimensionsActual
A ball is projected with a velocity, 10   m   s - 1 , at an angle of 60 ° with the vertical direction. Its speed at the highest point of its trajectory will be
Options
- A5 3   m   s - 1
- B5   m   s - 1
- C10   m   s - 1
- DZero
Correct answer
A. 5 3   m   s - 1
Step-by-step solution
The speed of a projectile at highest point is equal to the component of velocity of projection along the horizontal direction. The angle given with the vertical is 60 ° therefore, the angle with the horizontal will be 30 ° . Therefore, V = u cos θ ⇒ V = 10 cos 30 ° = 10 × 3 2 ⇒ V = 5 3   m   s - 1
