Projection Under uniform Acceleration
Question

A particle is projected with a velocity u making an angle θ with the horizontal. At any instant, its velocity V is at right angles to its initial velocity u ; then V is

Moderate
Solution

Because horizontal component of velocity remains constant in projectile motion, hence
ucosθ=Vcos90θucosθ=Vsinθ or V=ucotθ
