    A particle is projected from the ground at an angle of \[\theta \] with the horizontal with an initial speed of u. Time after which velocity vector of the projectile is perpendicular to the initial velocity is

    A) \[\frac{u}{(g\sin \theta )}\]                 

    B) \[\frac{u}{(gcos\theta )}\]      

    C)      \[\frac{2u}{(g\sin \theta )}\]   

    D)      \[2u\,\tan \theta \]   

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Initial velocity \[\vec{u}=u\cos \theta \,\hat{i}+u\sin \theta \hat{j}\] velocity at time t, \[\vec{v}=u\cos \theta \,\hat{i}+(u\sin \theta -gt)\hat{j}\] \[\therefore \]\[\vec{u}\] and \[\vec{u}\]are perpendicular, \[\vec{u}.\,\vec{v}=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[{{u}^{2}}{{\cos }^{2}}\theta +{{u}^{2}}{{\sin }^{2}}\theta -(u\sin \theta )gt=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[t=\frac{u}{g\sin \theta }\] Hence, the correction option is (a).
