3-2.Motion in Plane
medium

A projectile is thrown upward with a velocity $v_0$ at an angle $\alpha$ to the horizontal. The change in velocity of the projectile when it strikes the same horizontal plane is

A

$v_0 \sin \alpha$ vertically downwards

B

$2 v_0 \sin \alpha$ vertically downwards

C

$2 v_0 \sin \alpha$ vertically upwards

D

zero

Solution

(b)

$\Delta a = a \Delta t( a s$ a $=$ constant $)$

$=(-g \hat{ j })\left(\frac{2 v_0 \sin \alpha}{g}\right)=\left(-2 v_0 \alpha\right) \hat{ j }$

i.e. change in velocity is $2 v_0 \sin \alpha$, vertically downwards.
