A particle is projected in air at some angle to the horizontal, moves along parabola as shown in the figure, where x and y indicate horizontal and vertical directions respectively. Show in the diagram, direction of velocity and acceleration at points A, B, and C.
A particle travelling in a projectile motion will definitely have a path which is parabolic in nature. The velocity of such a particle is always measured tangential to the path of motion. Point B is where the particle reaches maximum height during the projectile motion.
Here we have the vertical and horizontal components of B which are and
