WBJEE · Physics · Motion In Two Dimensions

A particle is projected from the ground with a kinetic energy \(E\) at an angle of \(60^{\circ}\) with the horizontal. Its kinetic energy at the highest point of its motion will be

  1. A \(E / \sqrt{2}\)
  2. B \(E / 2\)
  3. C \(E / 4\)
  4. D \(E / 8\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(E / 4\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

At ground, \(E=\frac{1}{2} m u^{2}\) At highest point, \(E^{\prime}=\frac{1}{2} m\left(u \cos 60^{\circ}\right)^{2}\) \[ E^{\prime}=\frac{E}{4} \]
