Vedclass · Answer

(B) At the maximum height,the vertical component of velocity is zero,and the horizontal component of velocity is $v = u \cos 	heta$.The acceleration acting on the object at this point is the acceleration due to gravity,$g$,which acts vertically downwards.The centripetal acceleration $a_c$ is given by $a_c = \frac{v^2}{R}$,where $R$ is the radius of curvature.At the maximum height,the acceleration $g$ is perpendicular to the velocity $v$. Thus,$g$ acts as the centripetal acceleration.Therefore,$g = \frac{(u \cos 	heta)^2}{R}$.Rearranging for $R$,we get $R = \frac{u^2 \cos^2 	heta}{g}$.
