  • A
    a vertical straight line
  • B
    a straight line making a constant angle with the horizontal
  • C
    a parabola
  • D

Two bodies are thrown up at angles of $45^\circ$ and $60^\circ$,respectively,with the horizontal. If both bodies attain the same vertical height,then the ratio of the velocities with which these are thrown is:

Motion in two dimensions in a plane can be studied by expressing position,velocity,and acceleration as vectors in Cartesian coordinates $\vec{A} = A_{x} \hat{i} + A_{y} \hat{j}$,where $\hat{i}$ and $\hat{j}$ are unit vectors along $x$ and $y$ directions,respectively,and $A_{x}$ and $A_{y}$ are corresponding components of $\vec{A}$. Motion can also be studied by expressing vectors in circular polar coordinates as $\vec{A} = A_{r} \hat{r} + A_{\theta} \hat{\theta}$,where $\hat{r} = \cos \theta \hat{i} + \sin \theta \hat{j}$ and $\hat{\theta} = -\sin \theta \hat{i} + \cos \theta \hat{j}$ are unit vectors along the directions in which $r$ and $\theta$ are increasing.
$(a)$ Express $\hat{i}$ and $\hat{j}$ in terms of $\hat{r}$ and $\hat{\theta}$.
$(b)$ Show that both $\hat{r}$ and $\hat{\theta}$ are unit vectors and are perpendicular to each other.

When a body moves with a constant speed along a circle,

$A$ particle is projected from a point at an angle $\theta$ with the horizontal direction. At any time $t$, if $p$ is the linear momentum, $y$ is the vertical displacement, and $x$ is the horizontal displacement, which of the following graphs does not represent the variation of kinetic energy $KE$ of the particle?

$A$ frictionless circular wire of unit radius is fixed on the horizontal plane. Two point particles of unit mass start moving simultaneously from point $A(\theta = \pi/2)$ with identical uniform angular speeds in opposite directions, and meet again at point $B(\theta = -\pi/2)$. During this time, which of the following figures schematically represent the magnitude of the total linear momentum $P$ of the system, as a function of $\theta$?
