Motion In A Plane

Question
CBSEENPH11026327

A projectile is fired with a velocity u at angle θ with the ground surface. During the motion at any time it is making an angle a with the ground surface. The speed of particle at this time will be

  • ucosθ secα

  • ucosθ tanα

  • u2 cos2α sin2α

  • usinθ.sinα

Solution

A.

ucosθ secα

Projectile motion is the motion of an object thrown or projected into the air, subjected to an only acceleration of gravity. The object is called projectile and its path is called trajectory.

Horizontal component of velocity is always same

⇒          v cosα = u cosθ

             v = u cosθcosα

⇒            v= u cosθ secα
