The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will break it down into two parts: finding the initial velocity vector and then calculating the velocity after 3 seconds. ### Step 1: Determine the Initial Velocity Vector 1. **Identify the components of the initial velocity**: - The body is projected with a velocity \( u = 60 \, \text{m/s} \) at an angle \( \theta = 30^\circ \) with respect to the horizontal. 2. **Calculate the horizontal and vertical components of the initial velocity**: - The horizontal component \( u_x \) is given by: \[ u_x = u \cos \theta = 60 \cos 30^\circ \] - The vertical component \( u_y \) is given by: \[ u_y = u \sin \theta = 60 \sin 30^\circ \] 3. **Substituting the values of \( \cos 30^\circ \) and \( \sin 30^\circ \)**: - We know that \( \cos 30^\circ = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \) and \( \sin 30^\circ = \frac{1}{2} \). - Thus, \[ u_x = 60 \times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} = 30\sqrt{3} \, \text{m/s} \] \[ u_y = 60 \times \frac{1}{2} = 30 \, \text{m/s} \] 4. **Write the initial velocity vector**: - The initial velocity vector \( \mathbf{u} \) can be expressed as: \[ \mathbf{u} = u_x \hat{i} + u_y \hat{j} = 30\sqrt{3} \hat{i} + 30 \hat{j} \] ### Step 2: Calculate the Velocity After 3 Seconds 1. **Define the acceleration**: - The only acceleration acting on the body is due to gravity, which acts downward. Therefore, the acceleration vector \( \mathbf{a} \) is: \[ \mathbf{a} = -g \hat{j} = -10 \hat{j} \, \text{m/s}^2 \] 2. **Use the equation of motion to find the velocity after 3 seconds**: - The velocity \( \mathbf{v} \) after time \( t \) is given by: \[ \mathbf{v} = \mathbf{u} + \mathbf{a} t \] - Substituting the known values: \[ \mathbf{v} = (30\sqrt{3} \hat{i} + 30 \hat{j}) + (-10 \hat{j}) \cdot 3 \] - This simplifies to: \[ \mathbf{v} = 30\sqrt{3} \hat{i} + 30 \hat{j} - 30 \hat{j} \] - Thus, we have: \[ \mathbf{v} = 30\sqrt{3} \hat{i} + 0 \hat{j} \] 3. **Final result for the velocity after 3 seconds**: - Therefore, the velocity after 3 seconds is: \[ \mathbf{v} = 30\sqrt{3} \hat{i} \] ### Summary of Results - The initial velocity vector is \( \mathbf{u} = 30\sqrt{3} \hat{i} + 30 \hat{j} \). - The velocity after 3 seconds is \( \mathbf{v} = 30\sqrt{3} \hat{i} \).
