Q3 / 72 · NTA Abhyas (JEE Main) 2020 · Physics · Motion In Two Dimensions
Two seconds after projection, a projectile is traveling in a direction inclined at to the horizontal. After one more sec, it is traveling horizontally, the magnitude and direction of its velocity are
- A
- Correct answerB
- C
- D
Solution
Let in 2s body reaches upto point A and after one more second upto point B.
Total time of ascent for a body is given as 3s

i.e.,
......(i)
Horizontal component of velocity remains always constant
.......(ii)
For vertical upward motion between point O and A
[Using v = u - gt]
Substituting this value in equation (ii), we get
.....(iii)
From equations (i) and (ii)
and
