Q69 / 90 · JEE Main 2023 (11 Apr Shift 2) · Physics

A projectile is projected at 30° from horizontal with initial velocity 40 m s-1. The velocity of the projectile at t=2 s from the start will be:

  • A
    403 m s-1
  • B
    Zero
  • C
    20 m s-1
  • Correct answer
    D
    203 m s-1

Solution

It is given that v=40 m s-1.

The components of the velocity will be vy=vsin30°=40 m s-12=20 m s-1vx=vcos30°=4032 m s-1=203  m s-1

The time taken to reach maximum height is T=usin30°g=20 m s-110 m s-2=2 s

Hence, at T=2 s, as vy=0 m s-1 therefore vnet=vx=203 m s-1.

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