Questions  

A particle is projected with a speed vo at an angle θ above the horizontal surface such that the ratio of the kinetic energy at the highest point and the point of projection is 3:4. The change in velocity of the particle between these two points is

a
(vo/2)vertically downward.
b
(vo/2)vertically upward.
c
3v0due east.
d
3v0/2vertically downward.

detailed solution

Correct option is A

The ratio of the kinetic energy at the highest point and point of projection is KHK0=34 ⇒1/2mv0cosθ21/2mv02=34 ⇒cos2θ=34⇒θ=π6 Change in velocity=v0sinθ/2=vo/2.
