$A$ small object is thrown at an angle $45^{\circ}$ to the horizontal with an initial velocity $v_0$. The velocity is averaged for the first $\sqrt{2} \,s$ and the magnitude of the average velocity comes out to be the same as that of the initial velocity, i.e.,$|v_0|$. The magnitude $|v_0|$ will be (take $g=10 \,m/s^2$):

$A$ ball at point '$O$' is at a horizontal distance of $7 \ m$ from a wall. On the wall,a target is set at point '$C$'. If the ball is thrown from '$O$' at an angle $37^{\circ}$ with the horizontal,aiming at the target '$C$',but it hits the wall at point '$D$',which is at a vertical distance '$y_0$' below '$C$'. If the initial velocity of the ball is $15 \ m/s$,find $y_0$ (given $\cos 37^{\circ} = \frac{4}{5}$). (in $m$)
