NTA Abhyas JEE Main2020PhysicsMotion in Two DimensionsPractice
A particle is projected at an angle of 60 ° to the horizontal with a speed of 10 m s - 1 . After some time the direction of its velocity makes an angle of 30 ° to the horizontal. The speed of the particle at this instant is
Options
- A5 3   m   s - 1
- B5 3   m   s - 1
- C5   m   s - 1
- D10 3 m s - 1
Correct answer
D. 10 3 m s - 1
Step-by-step solution
Let v be the velocity of the projectile at this instant. The horizontal component of velocity remains unchanged. Therefore, v cos 30 ° = 10 cos 60 ° v 3 2 = 10 2 ∴   v = 10 3   m   s - 1
