A) \[\frac{K}{2}\]
B) \[\frac{K}{\sqrt{2}}\]
C) K
D) zero
Correct Answer: A
Solution :
| Key Idea: At highest point of projection, the vertical component of velocity is zero and there is only horizontal component of velocity. |
| At the highest point |
| \[{{v}_{x}}=u\cos \theta \] |
| \[{{v}_{y}}=0\] |
| \[{{K}_{H}}=\frac{1}{2}mv_{x}^{2}\] |
| or \[{{K}_{H}}=\frac{1}{2}m{{u}^{2}}{{\cos }^{2}}\theta \] (i) |
| Initial kinetic energy is |
| \[K=\frac{1}{2}m{{u}^{2}}\] (ii) |
| From Eq. (i) and (ii), we get |
| \[{{K}_{H}}=K{{\cos }^{2}}\theta =K{{\cos }^{2}}{{45}^{o}}\] |
| \[=K\times {{\left( \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \right)}^{2}}=\frac{K}{2}\] |
