Q47 / 72 · NTA Abhyas (JEE Main) 2020 · Physics · Motion In Two Dimensions

A particle is projected at an angle of 60° to the horizontal with a speed of 10 m s-1. After some time the direction of its velocity makes an angle of 30° to the horizontal. The speed of the particle at this instant is

  • A
    53 m s-1
  • B
    53 m s-1
  • C
    5 m s-1
  • Correct answer
    D
    103 m s-1

Solution

Let v be the velocity of the projectile at this instant.

The horizontal component of velocity remains unchanged.

Therefore,

vcos30°=10cos60°

v32=102

∴ v=103 m s-1

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
