JEE Mains · Physics · STD 11 - 3.2 motion in plane

A projectile is thrown upward at an angle \( 60^{\circ} \) with the horizontal. The speed of the projectile is 20 m/s when its direction of motion is \( 45^{\circ} \) with the horizontal. The initial speed of the projectile is __________ in m/s.

  1. A \( 40\sqrt{2} \)
  2. B 40
  3. C \( 20\sqrt{3} \)
  4. D \( 20\sqrt{2} \)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \( 20\sqrt{2} \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( u~cos~60^{\circ}=\frac{20}{\sqrt{2}} \) \( \frac{u}{2}=\frac{20}{\sqrt{2}} \) \( u=\frac{40}{\sqrt{2}} \) \(u =20 \sqrt{2}\) m/s
