The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both the assertion and the reason provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - A particle is projected with an initial speed \( u \) at an angle \( \theta \) with the horizontal. - During its motion, at any time, the speed of the particle is \( v \) at an angle \( \alpha \) with the vertical. - We need to show that \( v \sin \alpha \) is constant throughout the motion. 2. **Analyzing the Components of Velocity**: - The velocity \( v \) can be broken down into two components: - The horizontal component: \( v \cos \alpha \) - The vertical component: \( v \sin \alpha \) - In projectile motion, the horizontal component of velocity remains constant because there is no horizontal acceleration (ignoring air resistance). 3. **Horizontal Motion**: - The horizontal component of the initial velocity is \( u \cos \theta \). - Since there is no horizontal acceleration, this component remains constant throughout the motion. - Thus, \( v \cos \alpha = u \cos \theta \) is constant. 4. **Vertical Motion**: - The vertical component of velocity changes due to gravitational acceleration. However, the horizontal component's constancy leads us to focus on the relationship between \( v \) and \( \alpha \). 5. **Using the Relationship**: - Since \( v \cos \alpha \) is constant, we can express \( v \) in terms of \( \alpha \): \[ v = \frac{u \cos \theta}{\cos \alpha} \] - Now, we can find \( v \sin \alpha \): \[ v \sin \alpha = \frac{u \cos \theta}{\cos \alpha} \sin \alpha = u \cos \theta \tan \alpha \] - As \( \tan \alpha \) varies with the angle of the particle, \( v \sin \alpha \) remains constant because it is derived from the constant horizontal component. 6. **Conclusion for Assertion**: - Therefore, \( v \sin \alpha \) is indeed constant throughout the motion, confirming that the assertion is correct. 7. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason states that at the topmost point of projectile motion, the magnitude of radial acceleration is maximum. - Radial acceleration is given by the formula: \[ a_r = g^2 - a_t^2 \] - At the topmost point, the tangential acceleration \( a_t \) is zero, thus: \[ a_r = g \] - This means that the radial acceleration is indeed maximum at the topmost point. 8. **Conclusion for Reason**: - While both the assertion and reason are correct, the reason does not correctly explain the assertion about \( v \sin \alpha \) being constant. ### Final Answer: Both the assertion and the reason are correct, but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
