Easy MCQ +4 / -1 PYQ · JEE Mains 2023

The initial speed of a projectile fired from ground is $\mathrm{u}$. At the highest point during its motion, the speed of projectile is $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} u$. The time of flight of the projectile is :

  1. A $\frac{u}{g}$ Correct answer
  2. B $\frac{2u}{g}$
  3. C $\frac{u}{2g}$
  4. D $\frac{\sqrt3u}{g}$

Solution

$u \cos \theta=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} u$ <br/><br/>$\Rightarrow$ $\cos \theta=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$ <br/><br/>$\Rightarrow$ $\theta=30^{\circ}$ <br/><br/>Time of flight $=\frac{2 u \sin \theta}{g}=\left(\frac{u}{g}\right)$
