At the appermost point of a projectile ...

At the appermost point of a projectile its velocity and acceleration are at an angle of:

A

`45^(@)`

B

`60^(@)`

C

`90^(@)`

D

`180^(@)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
b
In projetile motion, at the highest point P of its path, the vertical component of velocity becomes zero, while horizontal component prevails, also accleration due to gravity g always acts vertically downwards, hence angle between velocity and acceleration is `90^(@)`.
