    The ball whose kinetic energy is E is thrown at an angle of \[45{}^\circ \]with the horizontal. Its K.E. at the highest point of its flight will be:

    A)  \[E\]                    

    B)         \[\frac{E}{2}\]

    C)  \[\frac{E}{\sqrt{2}}\]                    

    D)         \[0\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Given: Kinetic energy of the ball = E and angle of projection\[(\theta )=45{}^\circ \]. We know that velocity of the ball at the highest point\[=v\cos \theta =v\cos 45{}^\circ =\frac{v}{\sqrt{2}}.\] Therefore kinetic energy of the ball\[=\frac{1}{2}m\times {{\left( \frac{v}{\sqrt{2}} \right)}^{2}}\]\[=\frac{1}{4}m{{v}^{2}}=\frac{E}{2}.\]
