3-2.Motion in Plane
medium

A ball is thrown from a roof top at an angle of $45^o$ above the horizontal. It hits the ground a few seconds later. At what point during its motion, does the ball have $(a)$ greatest speed $(b)$ smallest speed $(c)$ greatest acceleration - Explain.

Option A
Option B
Option C
Option D

Solution

Consider the given figure in which a ball is projected from point 0 and goes to c through $\mathrm{A}$ and $\mathrm{B}$.

Ground

$(a)$ At point B, it will gain the same speed $v_{0}$ and after that speed increases and will be maximum just before reaching at$ C$.

$(b)$ During upward journey from $0$ to $A$ speed decreases and will be minimum at point A.

$(c)$ Acceleration is always constant and is equal to $g$.
