Question

In a projectile motion, why does the vertical component of velocity become zero at the maximum height?

Open in App

Solution

This is because the force of gravity acts in the vertically downward direction, which produces a retardation and reduces the vertical component of velocity to zero.

Q. Assertion :In projectile motion if particle is projected with speed

u

, then speed of particle at height

Reason: If particle is projected with vertical component of velocity,

u_{y} .

Then vertical component at the height

h

\pm \sqrt{u_{y}^{2} - 2 g h .}
