Physics Motion in a Plane Radial and Tangential Acceleration MCQ (Single Correct)

A stone is projected from level ground at t = 0 sec such that its horizontal and vertical components of initial velocity are 10 m/s and 20 m/s respectively. Then the instant of time at which magnitude of tangential and magnitude of normal components of acceleration of stone are same is: (neglect air resistance) g = 10 m/s 2 .

The correct answer is:
CHECK THE SOLUTION.

(b, c): Tangential acceleration = a t = g sin θ

Normal acceleration = a n = g cos θ

a t = a n

g sin θ = g cos θ ⇒ θ = 45°

⇒ v y = v x

u y – gt = u x

20 – (10)t = 10

t = 1 sec.

During downward motion

a t = a n

v y = – v x

20 – 10 t = – 10 ⇒ t = 3 sec.
