AP EAMCET · PHYSICS · Motion In Two Dimensions

Assertion (A) The velocity of a projectile at
a point on its trajectory is equal to the slope at
that point.
Reason (R) The velocity vector at a point
always along the tangent to the trajectory at
that point.

  1. A Both A and R are true and R is the correct
    explanation of A
  2. B Both A and R are true but R is not the correct
    explanation of A
  3. C A is true but R is false
  4. D A is false but R is true
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) A is false but R is true

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Trajectory of a projectice is of form \[ \begin{aligned} & y=f(x)=x \tan \theta-\frac{g x^2}{2 u^2 \cos ^2 \theta} \\ & \therefore \frac{d y}{d x}=\text { slope }=\frac{d y / d t}{d x / d t}=\frac{v_y}{v_x} \end{aligned} \] So, Assertion (A) is incorrect. Also, velocity of a…
