Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 11
If a body is projected with an angle θ to the horizontal, then
A
its velocity is always perpendicular to its acceleration.
B
its velocity becomes zero at its maximum height.
C
its velocity makes zero angle with the horizontal at its maximum height.
D
the body just before hitting the ground, the direction of velocity coincides with the acceleration.
Correct Answer
Option C
Detailed Explanation
In angular projection, the body at the highest point has velocity u = cos θ in the horizontal direction which makes zero angle with horizontal direction.
