A

parallel to each other

B

antiparallel to each other

C

inclined to each other at an angle of `45^(@)`

D

perpendicular to each other

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:

Assertion At highest point of a projectile, dot product of velocity and acceleration is zero. Reason At highest point, velocity and acceleration are mutually perpendicular.

a projectile is fired from the surface of the earth with a velocity of 5ms^(-1) and angle theta with the horizontal. Another projectile fired from another planet with a velocity of 3ms^(-1) at the same angle follows a trajectory which is identical with the trajectory of the projectile fired from the earth.The value of the acceleration due to gravity on the planet is in ms^(-2) is given (g=9.8 ms^(-2))

Determine whether or not the following quantities can be in the same direction for a SHM velocity and acceleration

Projectile motion is a combination of two one-dimensional motion: one in horizontal and other in vertical direction. Motion in 2D means in a plane. Necessary condition for 2D motion is that the velocity vector is coplanar to the acceleration vector. In case of projectile motion, the angle between velocity and acceleration will be 0^@ltthetalt180^@ . During the projectile motion, the horizontal component of velocity ramains unchanged but the vertical component of velocity is time dependent. Now answer the following questions: A particle is projected from the origin in the x-y plane. The acceleration of particle in negative y-direction is alpha . If equation of path of the particle is y = ax - bx^2 , then initial velocity of the particle is
