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

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{\mathrm{K}}{4}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

At highest point kinetic energy \(=1 / 2 \mathrm{~m}\left(\mathrm{v} \cos 60^{\circ}\right)^2=1 / 4 \times 1 / 2 \mathrm{~m} \mathrm{v} v^2=\mathrm{K} / 4\)
