Question
A body is projected with velocity 19·6 m/s in horizontal direction. After what time the horizontal and vertical component of velocity will be the same?
Solution
Given, that the body is projected in the horizontal direction.
So, we have


Now, the horizontal component of velocity at any instant is given by,
Vertical component of velocity is,
Since, horizontal and vertical component of velocity is the same, we have
9.8 t = 19.6
i.e., t = 2s
So, we have


Now, the horizontal component of velocity at any instant is given by,

Vertical component of velocity is,

Since, horizontal and vertical component of velocity is the same, we have
9.8 t = 19.6
i.e., t = 2s
