A particle is fired from ground with the speed u making an angle theta with the horizontal. The speed of the particle just before hitting the ground will be(1)u(2)u costheta(3)u/2(4)u sintheta​

Answer»

Answer:

a)u

Explanation:

Given:

INITIAL speed of the particle =u

Angle made by particle with horizontal=\theta

Now when the particle FALLS back to the ground its displacement is 0

The initial velocity of particle in y direction=u\sin\theta

The initial velocity of particle in x direction=u\cos\theta

From the Equation of motion under GRAVITY in y direction we have

y=u\sin\theta-\dfrac{gt^2}{2}\\0=u\sin\theta-\dfrac{gt^2}{2}\\\\t=\dfrac{2u\sin\theta}{g}

The y- component of velocity just before the particle hits the ground be v_y given by

v_y=u\sin\theta-g\times\dfrac{2u\sin\theta}{g}\\=-u\sin\theta

The x-component of velocity is CONSTANT as their is no acceleration in x direction

The net velocity be v_{net}

v_{net}=\sqrt{(u\cos\theta)^2 +(-u\sin\theta)^2}\\=u
