Practice question
Question
A projectile is launched at 45 m/s at 30° . What is its speed at maximum height? (Take g = 10 m/s², cos 30° = 0.866 )
Explanation
Given:
A projectile is launched at 45 m/s at 30° . What is its speed at maximum height? (Take g = 10 m/s², cos 30° = 0.866 )
These values define the system as per NCERT data.
Formula:
At maximum height, speed = v_x = v_0 cos θ_0.
This is the standard NCERT relation for this phenomenon.
Substitution & Calculation:
Given: v_0 = 45 m/s, cos 30° = 0.866 . v_x = 45 × 0.866 approx 38.97 m/s .
Result:
The computed value matches the expected outcome and confirms the correct choice. Units and powers like J kgâ»Â¹ Kâ»Â¹, m/s², 10â»âµ are properly used as per NCERT.
