\overrightarrow u = a\widehat i + b\widehat j + c\widehat k\,\,with\,\hat i,\hat j,\hat k

are in east, north and vertical directions, horizontal component of velocity of projectile is

View answer and explanation

Correct option: C

\sqrt {{a^2} + {b^2}}

Option C (

\sqrt {{a^2} + {b^2}}

) is correct because the horizontal component of velocity is the vector sum of the eastward and northward components, which can be found using the Pythagorean theorem.
