$A$ projectile is thrown upward at an angle $60^{\circ}$ with the horizontal. The speed of the projectile is $20 \text{ m/s}$ when its direction of motion is $45^{\circ}$ with the horizontal. The initial speed of the projectile is . . . . . . in $\text{m/s}$.

Consider a circle of radius $R = 42\ cm$. An insect crawls with a uniform speed of $v = 1.3\ cm/s$ along the chord $AB$, then along the circular arc $BCD$, and finally along the chord $DA$ to return to point $A$. The time taken by the insect to crawl from $A$ back to $A$ is closest to ......... $\sec$.
