JEE MainPhysicsMotion in A PlaneMCQ+4 / −1
The initial speed of a projectile fired from ground is . At the highest point during its motion, the speed of projectile is . The time of flight of the projectile is :
- A
- B
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: A
- Resolve the initial velocity
Let the projectile be fired with speed at an angle to the horizontal.
So,
- Use the condition at the highest point
At the highest point, the vertical component of velocity becomes zero, so the speed there is only the horizontal component:
Given:
Cancelling :
Thus,
Hence,
- Formula for time of flight
For a projectile fired from ground and landing back on ground,
Substitute :
- Match with the options
So the correct option is A.
