A body of mass is projected at an angle of with the horizontal. The trajectory of the body is observed to pass through a point . If is the time of flight, then its momentum vector, at time , is . [Take ]
- A
- B
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: D
- Write the projectile equation
For projection at angle with speed :
Given that the trajectory passes through .
The trajectory equation is
With , we have and . Hence
Substitute , , :
- Find components of initial velocity
- Find time of flight
For projectile motion,
Therefore,
- Velocity at s
Horizontal velocity remains constant:
Vertical velocity:
So,
- Momentum vector
Given mass kg,
- Compare with options
This matches:
- Verification with stored answer
Stored correct answer:
Derived answer:
So they agree.
