The velocity of a projectile at the initial point A is (2i + 3j) m/s. Its velocity (in m/s) at…

The velocity of a projectile at the initial point A is $(2\hat i + 3\hat j)$ m/s. Its velocity (in m/s) at point B is:
A $2\hat i + 3\hat j$
B $-2\hat i - 3\hat j$
C $-2\hat i + 3\hat j$
D $2\hat i - 3\hat j$

Detailed Solution

B is at the same level as A. The horizontal component of velocity stays the same and the vertical component is reversed.
So the velocity at B is $2\hat i - 3\hat j$ m/s.
