A body is projected with a speed 
at an angle 
with the horizontal. The kinetic
energy at the highest point is 
th of the initial kinetic energy. The value of 
is
A
B
C
D
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
The kinetic energy at the highest point would be equal to 
(as the
vertical component of the velocity is zero).
The initial kinetic energy is the maximum kinetic energy.
So, 
where, 
Thus,
