Question
A projectile is fired with a speed $u$ at an angle $\theta$ with the horizontal. Its speed when its direction of motion makes an angle ‘$\alpha $’ with the horizontal is
vertical component of velocity $v_{y}=u \sin \theta-g t$
angle of velocity with horizontal $=\alpha$
$\tan a=\frac{v_{y}}{v_{x}}=\frac{(u \sin \theta-g t)}{(4 \cos \theta)}$
$t=\frac{u(\sin \theta-\cos \theta \tan \alpha)}{g}$
$v_{y}=u \cos \theta \tan \alpha$
$v_{x}=u \cos \theta$
So the speed of the projectile $=\sqrt{\left(\left(v_{x}\right)^{2}+\left(v_{y}\right)^{2}\right)}$
$=u \cos \theta \sec \alpha$
