We have given,

Angle of projection "\\theta=60^{\\circ}" ,initial speed "u=20m\/s" ,Time of flight "T_{flight}=3.46s" .

We have to calculate the speed at maximum height "(H)" .

Since, we know that height "H" is achieved when the "y" component of the final velocity becomes at time

"t=\\frac{1}{2}T_{flight}"

But we noticed that "x" component of the velocity of the particle does not change with time as there is no horizontal force acting on the particle, hence no acceleration i.e "a_x=0"


Thus, there is only horizontal component of velocity will survive, hence from the given data,


"v_y=0"

"v_x=u\\cos(\\theta)-a_xt\\\\\n\\implies v_x=u\\cos(\\theta)\\\\\n\\implies v_x=20\\cdot \\cos(60^{\\circ})=10ms^{-1}"

Therefore, velocity of the particle at maximum height is "10ms^{-1}"
