If a body is projected with an angle `theta` to the horizontal, then

A

the velcity is always perpendicular to its acceleration

B

its velocity becomes zero at its maximum heigth

C

its velocity makes zero angle with the horizontal at its maximum height

D

the body just bevore hitting the ground, the direction of velocity coincides with the acceleration

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

(c) Direction of velocity is always tangent to the path so at the top of trajectory it is in horizontal direction.
