A particle is projected from a point A with velocity u
at an angle of 45º with horizontal as shown in figure. It strikes the plane BC at right angles. The velocity of the particle at the time of collision is:

Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
Let v be the velocity at the time of collision.
Then, u
cos 45º = v sin 60º

(u
)
= 
v =
u
