In a typical projectile motion, tangential acceleration at the topmost point P of the trajectory is

A

g

B

`gcostheta`

C

0

D

None of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
At highest point of a projectile, tangential compoment of acceleration is zero as acceleration is vertically downwards (g) and velocity is horizontal or the angle between acceleration and velocity is `90^(@)`.

Assertion A particle is projected with speed u at an angle theta with the horizontal. At any time during motion, speed of particle is v at angle alpha with the vertical, then v sin alpha is always constant throughout the motion. Reason In case of projectile motion, magnitude of radical acceleration at topmost point is maximum.
