Solution

The correct option is A v=u2+g2t2
Let xaxis denotes horizontal direction and yaxis denotes vertical downward direction.

At the projection,
ux=u ; uy=0

u=u ^i

And, after time t, velocity of package will be,

v=vx^i+vy^j

As there is no acceleration in horizontal direction, so

vx=u

And acceleration due to gravity (g) in the vertical downward direction, velocity in downward direction will be,

vy=uy+gt

vy=gt (uy=0)

So, the final velocity of package after time t will be,

v=(u)^i+(gt)^j

|v|=u2+g2t2

Hence, option (B) is the correct answer.
