A particle having kinetic energy \(K\) is projected at \(60^{\circ}\) with the horizontal. The kinetic energy at the highest point is

  1. A \(K\)
  2. B zero
  3. C \(K / 4\)
  4. D \(K / 2\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(K / 4\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The motion of projectile is as shown in figure, Let initial velocity of projection is \(u\), so initial kinetic energy is \(\mathrm{KE}_1=\frac{1}{2} m u^2\) At highest point, the vertical component of velocity is zero, while the horizontal component is \(u \cos \theta\), which…
