Answer #1

We know that in projectile motion horizontal component is constant so,

Time of flight is given as:

So the projectile will be at highest point (where vertical velocity is zero) at

As we have to find velocity 2 sec before strike

But we know that from the highest point time taken by projectile to reach ground is

So time during which the vertical velocity will increases from 0 to v is given as:

sec

Therefore,

downward
