Question
A projectile is fired with velocity \(u\) making angle \(\theta\) with the horizontal. What is the change in velocity when it is at the highest point
Solution
Since horizontal component of velocity remain always constant therefore only vertical component of velocity changes.
Initially vertical component \(u\sin \theta \)
Finally it becomes zero. So change in velocity \(=u\sin \theta \)
