STANDARD Physics Projectile Motion MCQ Question
In case of a projectile motion, what is the angle between the velocity and acceleration at the highest point?
0°
45°
90°
180°
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
At the highest point, velocity is acting horizontally and acceleration (= acceleration due to gravity) is acting vertically downwards. Therefore, at the highest point the angle between velocity and acceleration is 90°.
