If a body is projected with an angle `theta` 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 makse 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

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
b

In angular projection, the body at the highest point has velocity `=u cos theta` in the horizontal direction which makes zero angles with horizontal direction.
