Question
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 sec
ucosθ tan
u2 cos2 sin2
usinθ.sin
Solution
A.
ucosθ sec
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 cos = u cosθ
v =
⇒ v= u cosθ sec
