A body is projected at an angle of \(60^{\circ}\) with the horizontal. If the initial kinetic energy of the body is X, then its kinetic energy at the highest point is

  1. A X
  2. B 2X
  3. C \(\frac{X}{2}\)
  4. D \(\frac{X}{4}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\frac{X}{4}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Initial KE: \(K_i = X = \frac{1}{2}mv^2\) Velocity at highest point: \(v_h = v \cos \theta\) KE at highest point: \(K_h = \frac{1}{2}mv_h^2 = \frac{1}{2}m(v \cos \theta)^2 = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 \cos^2 \theta\) \(K_h = X \cos^2 60^{\circ}\)…
