In a typical projectile motion, tangential acceleration at the topmost point P of the trajectory is

A

g

B

`gcostheta`

C

0

D

None of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
At highest point of a projectile, tangential compoment of acceleration is zero as acceleration is vertically downwards (g) and velocity is horizontal or the angle between acceleration and velocity is `90^(@)`.

Average velocity of a particle in projectile motion between its starting point and the highest point of its trajectory is (projectin speed = u, angle projection from horizontal = theta )

Assertion A particle is projected with speed u at an angle theta with the horizontal. At any time during motion, speed of particle is v at angle alpha with the vertical, then v sin alpha is always constant throughout the motion. Reason In case of projectile motion, magnitude of radical acceleration at topmost point is maximum.

At the top of the trajectory of projectile the
