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 makes zero angle with the horizontal at its maximum height

D

the body just before hitting the ground, the direction of velocity coincides with the accclcration

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
In angular projection , the body at the highest point has velocity = `u cos theta` n the horizontal direction which makes zero angle with the horizontal direction .
