A particle is projected from a point P with a velocity v at an angle θ with horizontal. At a certain point Q it moves at right angles to its initial direction. Then (a) velocity of particle at Q is vsintheta (b) velocity of particle at Q is Vtantheta (c) time taken from P and Q is v/g sin theta (d) time taken from P and Q is v/gsectheta

Figure shows the particle projected at P with velocity v at angle θ with horizontal.
 
When the particle reaches the point Q in its trajectory its direction of velocity is perpendicular to its intial velocity
as shown in figure.
 
Let u be the velocity of particle at Q . Its horizontal velocity component = u cosφ = u cos(90-θ) = u sinθ
 
if v is inital velocity at P , then horizontal component v cosθ remains constant throughout its trajectory.
 
Hence , we have ,  u sinθ = v cosθ
 
Hence velocity at Q is given as,
 
u = v ( cosθ / sinθ ) = v cotθ  ...................................(1)
 
At Q , vertical component of velocity ,  u sinφ = u sin(90-θ) = u cosθ = v cotθ cosθ
 
Time taken t to reach Q from P is determined from velocity at both position.
 
v cotθ cosθ = v sinθ - (g t )
 
from above expression we get
 
t = ( v / g ) [ sinθ - cotθ cosθ ]
