    Given: velocity = 20 m/s, α = 40°

    Formula: Minimum velocity = u cos α

    Solution:

    Minimum velocity in a projectile motion is obtained at the top.

    Substituting the given values, we get

    Minimum velocity = u cos α

    = 20 x cos 40

    = 15.32 m/s

    The minimum velocity attained by a ball thrown with velocity of 20 m/s at an angle of 40° with the horizontal is 15.32 m/s
