A ball is thrown from a roof top at angle of ` 40^(@)`above the horizontal. It hits the ground a few seconds later. At what point during its motion. Does the ball have
(a) greatest speed (b) smallest speed (c ) greatest acceleration ? Explain.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Consider the adjacent diagram in which a ball is projected from point O, and covering the path OABC.
(a) At point B, it will gain the same speed u and after that speed increases and will be maximum just before reaching C.
(b) During upward journey from O to A speed decreases and will be minimum at point A.
(c) Acceleration is always constant throughout the journey and is vertically downward equal to g.
