The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both the assertion and the reason provided regarding projectile motion. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that in projectile motion, if a particle is projected with an initial speed \( u \), then the speed of the particle at height \( h \) would be given by: \[ v = \sqrt{u^2 - 2gh} \] - This formula is derived from the conservation of mechanical energy, where the initial kinetic energy is converted into kinetic energy at height \( h \) and potential energy. 2. **Deriving the Speed at Height \( h \)**: - The initial kinetic energy when the particle is projected is: \[ KE_i = \frac{1}{2} mu^2 \] - At height \( h \), the potential energy gained is: \[ PE = mgh \] - The kinetic energy at height \( h \) is: \[ KE_f = \frac{1}{2} mv^2 \] - By conservation of energy: \[ KE_i = KE_f + PE \] \[ \frac{1}{2} mu^2 = \frac{1}{2} mv^2 + mgh \] - Canceling \( m \) from the equation (assuming \( m \neq 0 \)): \[ \frac{1}{2} u^2 = \frac{1}{2} v^2 + gh \] - Rearranging gives: \[ v^2 = u^2 - 2gh \] - Thus, taking the square root: \[ v = \sqrt{u^2 - 2gh} \] 3. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason states that if the particle is projected with a vertical component of velocity \( u_y \), then the vertical component of velocity at height \( h \) would be: \[ v_y = \pm \sqrt{u_y^2 - 2gh} \] - This is also derived from the same principle of conservation of energy, focusing only on the vertical motion. 4. **Deriving the Vertical Component**: - The vertical component of the initial velocity is \( u_y \). - Using the same conservation of energy approach: \[ \frac{1}{2} mu_y^2 = \frac{1}{2} mv_y^2 + mgh \] - Canceling \( m \): \[ \frac{1}{2} u_y^2 = \frac{1}{2} v_y^2 + gh \] - Rearranging gives: \[ v_y^2 = u_y^2 - 2gh \] - Thus, taking the square root: \[ v_y = \pm \sqrt{u_y^2 - 2gh} \] 5. **Conclusion**: - Both the assertion and the reason are true. - However, the reason does not provide a correct explanation for the assertion because the assertion refers to the total speed at height \( h \), while the reason refers specifically to the vertical component of velocity. ### Final Answer: Both the assertion and reason are true, but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
