    • Question

      A projectile is fired at an angle θ and reaches

      maximum height H and range R. The angle between velocity and acceleration at the highest point is:
      A Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 45° Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 90° Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 180° Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      At the highest point of a projectile’s motion: ●      Velocity is horizontal, since the vertical component becomes zero. ●      Acceleration is always vertically downward, due to gravity. Therefore, at the highest point, velocity is horizontal and acceleration is vertical, making them perpendicular.
