A stone is projected at angle to the horizontal. The ratio of kinetic energy of the stone at point of projection to its kinetic energy at the highest point of flight will be -
- A1 : 4
- B1 : 2
- C4 : 3
- D4 : 1
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: C
-
Let the initial speed of projection be .
-
Kinetic energy at the point of projection
At launch, the speed is , so
- Speed at the highest point
At the highest point of projectile motion, the vertical component of velocity becomes zero, while the horizontal component remains constant.
Given angle of projection ,
So, speed at the highest point is
- Kinetic energy at the highest point
- Required ratio
Cancel :
Multiply both terms by :
- Correct option
So, the correct answer is Option C.
