Conservation of Energy

A particle is projected at 60∘60^\circ to the horizontal with a kinetic energy K. The kinetic energy at the highest point is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (d)

  1. At the highest point the speed is ucos⁡θu\cos\theta, so Ktop=Kcos⁡2θK_{top} = K\cos^2\theta.
  2. Ktop=Kcos⁡260∘=K4K_{top} = K\cos^2 60^\circ = \frac{K}{4}
  3. So the answer is (d) K/4K/4.
