If at any point on the path of a projectile its velocity is $u$ at an inclination $\alpha$ to the horizontal,then after what time will it move at right angles to its former direction?

  • A
    $\frac{u}{g \csc \alpha}$
  • B
    $\frac{u}{g \sin \alpha}$
  • C
    $\frac{u}{g \cos \alpha}$
  • D
    $\frac{u}{g \sec \alpha}$
