Is it true that the instantaneous velocity of a projectile is tangential to its parabolic path ?

What is instantaneous velocity?

The pathe of a projectile is

At the highest point of the path of a projectile, its

At the highest point of the path of a projectile, its

If the instantaneous velocity of a particle is zero, will its instantaneous acceleration be necessarily zero

The instantaneous velocity of a particle is equal to time derivative of its position vector and the instantaneous acceleration is equal to time derivatives of its velocity vector. Therefore :

Kinematics - Instantaneous Velocity And Acceleration

STATEMENT - 1 : The instantaneous velocity is always tangential to the path and STATEMENT - 2 : The slope of position-time graph represents the velocity.

The question given below consist of an assertion and the reason . Use the following key to choose appropriate answer: Assertion : There is a case of ground -to - ground projectile . When projectile is fired at an its path where instantaneous velocity becomes perpendicular to its initial velocity . Reason : In case of ground -to- ground projectile projected at an angle theta , maximum possible deviation is 2 theta ,
