$A$ particle is acted upon by a force of constant magnitude which is always perpendicular to the velocity of the particle. The motion of the particle takes place in a plane. It follows that:

  • A
    It moves in a circular path
  • B
    Acceleration is constant
  • C
    Kinetic energy is constant
  • D
    Both $(a)$ and $(c)$

$A$ ball is projected from a point with a speed $V_0$ at a certain angle $\theta$ with the horizontal. From the same point and at the same instant,a person starts running with a constant speed $0.5 V_0$ to catch the ball. If the person catches the ball after some time,then the angle of projection of the ball is (in $^{\circ}$)
