The question asks for the velocity vector, speed, momentum, or inclination angle of the projectile at a specified time after launch, requiring resolution into horizontal and vertical components.
A particle is projected from a point O with velocity $u$ at an angle of $60^\circ$ with the horizontal. When it is moving in a direction at right angles to its direction at $O$, its velocity then is given by (1) $\frac{u}{3}$ (2) $\frac{u}{2}$ (3) $\frac{2u}{3}$ (4) $\frac{u}{\sqrt{3}}$
A body is projected at $t = 0$ with a velocity $10 \mathrm {~ms} ^ { - 1 }$ at an angle of $60 ^ { \circ }$ with the horizontal. The radius of curvature of its trajectory at $t = 1 \mathrm {~s}$ is $R$. Neglecting air resistance and taking acceleration due to gravity $\mathrm { g } = 10 \mathrm {~ms} ^ { - 2 }$, the value of $R$ is: (1) 10.3 m (2) 2.8 m (3) 2.5 m (4) 5.1 m
