Projection Under uniform Acceleration

Question

A projectile is thrown at an angle of 30° with a velocity of 10 m/s. the change in velocity during the time interval in which it reaches the highest point is

Moderate
Solution

Initial velocity of projection \large \overrightarrow u = \left( {10\cos {{30}^0}\widehat i + 10\sin {{30}^0}\widehat j} \right)m/s
\large = \left( {5\sqrt 3 \widehat i + 5\widehat j} \right)m/s
Horizontal component of velocity remains unchanged. At the highest point velocity is horizontal and \large \overrightarrow V = 5\sqrt 3 \widehat {i\;}m/s
\large \therefore Magnitude of change in velocity \large = \left| {\overrightarrow {\Delta V} } \right| = \left| {\overrightarrow v - \overrightarrow u } \right| = 5m/s
