The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both the assertion and the reason provided. ### Step 1: Understand the Assertion The assertion states that a particle is projected with velocity \( u \) at an angle of \( 45^\circ \) with the ground. We need to determine if the dot product \( u \cdot v \) can be zero at some time \( t \neq 0 \). ### Step 2: Analyze the Motion In projectile motion, the velocity of the particle can be broken down into two components: - Horizontal component: \( u_x = u \cos(45^\circ) = \frac{u}{\sqrt{2}} \) - Vertical component: \( u_y = u \sin(45^\circ) = \frac{u}{\sqrt{2}} \) At any time \( t \), the velocity \( v \) of the particle can be expressed as: - \( v_x = u_x = \frac{u}{\sqrt{2}} \) (remains constant) - \( v_y = u_y - g t = \frac{u}{\sqrt{2}} - g t \) ### Step 3: Determine the Condition for Dot Product to be Zero The dot product \( u \cdot v \) is given by: \[ u \cdot v = |u| |v| \cos(\theta) \] where \( \theta \) is the angle between the vectors \( u \) and \( v \). For the dot product to be zero, \( \cos(\theta) \) must be zero, which occurs when \( \theta = 90^\circ \). ### Step 4: Find When \( \theta = 90^\circ \) The angle between the initial velocity vector \( u \) and the velocity vector \( v \) at time \( t \) can be determined. As the particle moves, at the peak of its trajectory, the vertical component of the velocity \( v_y \) becomes zero, and the velocity vector \( v \) is purely horizontal. At this point, the angle between \( u \) (which has both horizontal and vertical components) and \( v \) (which is horizontal) is \( 90^\circ \). ### Step 5: Conclusion on Assertion Since at the peak of the projectile's motion, the angle between \( u \) and \( v \) becomes \( 90^\circ \), the dot product \( u \cdot v \) can indeed be zero at that moment. Thus, the assertion is true. ### Step 6: Analyze the Reason The reason states that the value of the dot product is zero when the angle between the two vectors is \( 90^\circ \). This is a true statement regarding the properties of the dot product. ### Step 7: Relationship Between Assertion and Reason While both the assertion and reason are true, the reason does not specifically explain the assertion in the context of projectile motion. The assertion discusses a specific scenario in projectile motion, while the reason discusses a general property of dot products. ### Final Answer Both the assertion and reason are true, but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion. Therefore, the correct answer is **Option B**. ---
