Vedclass · Answer

(A) In projectile motion,the horizontal component of velocity $(u_x = u \cos 	heta)$ remains constant throughout the flight.However,the vertical component of velocity $(u_y)$ changes due to gravity.$(i)$ The speed is maximum at the point of projection because the vertical component is at its maximum value here.$(ii)$ The speed is minimum at the highest point of the trajectory because the vertical component of velocity becomes zero,leaving only the constant horizontal component $(u \cos 	heta)$.

At what point in its trajectory does a projectile have its $(i)$ maximum speed and $(ii)$ minimum speed?
