State whether the following statements are true or false:
$(a)$ If the angular velocity is constant on a circular path,the linear velocity is also constant.
$(b)$ In projectile motion,the velocity vector of the projectile is always perpendicular to the acceleration vector.
$(c)$ For the maximum horizontal range $R$ of a projectile,the maximum height attained is $\frac{R}{4}$.
$(d)$ If $|\vec{A} \times \vec{B}| = AB$,then the angle between $\vec{A}$ and $\vec{B}$ is zero.

(C) False. In uniform circular motion,the magnitude of linear velocity is constant,but its direction changes continuously.
$(b)$ False. The velocity vector is perpendicular to the acceleration vector only at the highest point of the trajectory.
$(c)$ True. For maximum range,the angle of projection $\theta = 45^{\circ}$. The maximum height $H = \frac{u^2 \sin^2 \theta}{2g} = \frac{u^2 \sin^2 45^{\circ}}{2g} = \frac{u^2}{4g}$. The range $R = \frac{u^2 \sin 2\theta}{g} = \frac{u^2}{g}$. Thus,$H = \frac{R}{4}$.
$(d)$ False. If $|\vec{A} \times \vec{B}| = AB$,then $AB \sin \theta = AB$,which implies $\sin \theta = 1$,so $\theta = 90^{\circ}$.

$A$ particle moving in a circle of radius $R$ with uniform speed takes time $T$ to complete one revolution.

$A$ small boy is throwing a ball towards a wall $6 \,m$ in front of him. He releases the ball at a height of $1.4 \,m$ from the ground. The ball bounces from the wall at a height of $3 \,m$,rebounds from the ground and reaches the boy's hand exactly at the point of release. Assuming the two bounces (one from the wall and the other from the ground) to be perfectly elastic,how far ahead of the boy did the ball bounce from the ground (in $,m$)?
