Two balls are kicked with the same initial speeds. Ball A was kicked at the angle 20° above horizontal and ball B was kicked at the angle 75° above horizontal. What ball will have bigger speed at the highest point of their trajectory? O Ball A O Ball B O Their will have equal speeds O Impossible to answer without knowing their actual initial speeds.

Respuesta :

Answer:

Ball A

Explanation:

Let the initial speed of the balls be u .

Angle of projection for ball A = 20°

Angle of projection for ball B = 75°

As we know that at highest point, the ball has only horizontal speed which always remains constant throughout the motion because the acceleration in horizontal direction is zero.

Speed of ball A at highest point = u Cos 20° = 0.94 u

Speed of ball B at highest point = u Cos 75° = 0.26 u

So, the ball A has bigger speed than B.
