Question

If theta is the angle between the velocity and acceleration of a projectile at a pounding it's path, it's value when the projectile is at the highest point

Answer 1

Answer:90°

Explanation:

Simply at the highest point y component of velocity is 0

Answer 2

Answer:

The value of θ will be 90° when the projectile is at highest point.

Explanation:

• In projectile motion acceleration is directed towards earth and at the peak point the angle between velocity and acceleration is 90° because at the peak point vertical component of velocity is 0.
• When an object is projected at an angle from the surface of the earth, then there will be two components of the velocity and One component of velocity will act along the horizontal direction and the other will act in the vertical direction.
• The acceleration on the particle during the flight will be due to gravity, so the direction of acceleration will be vertical downward at the highest point.

Hence the 90° will be the angle when the projectile is at highest point.
