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.
Pick an option to check your answer.
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
