JEE Main Physics question

If a body is projected with an angle to the horizontal, then **[BITSAT 2008]**

(A)its velocity is always perpendicular to its acceleration
(B)its velocity becomes zero at its maximum height
(C)its velocity makes a zero angle with the horizontal at its maximum heightCorrect
(D)its acceleration becomes zero at its maximum height

Answer: (C)

Solution

At the maximum height, the vertical velocity component vanishes, leaving only the horizontal component — so the velocity is directed exactly along the horizontal there
