MCQ
A body is projected with velocity $u$ making an angle $\alpha$ with the horizontal. Its velocity when it is perpendicular to the initial velocity vector $u$ is
  • A
    $u \,tan\alpha$
  • $u\, cot\alpha$
  • C
    $u\, cosec\alpha$
  • D
    $u \,sec\alpha$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$u\, cot\alpha$
b
$'O' = u\cos \alpha $

$'P' = v\sin \alpha $

$v\sin \alpha = u\cos \alpha $

$\Rightarrow \,v = u\cot \alpha $
