Statement I: At the highest point, velocity of projectile will be in horizontal direction only.
Statement II: In projectile motion, the angle between the instantaneous velocity and acceleration at the highest point is 
.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsB
Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect.
At the highest point, the instantaneous velocity is acting horizontally and acceleration of projectile (equal to acceleration due to gravity) is acting vertically downward Therefore, angle between velocity and acceleration at the highest point is
