The initial position of an object at rest is given by $3 \hat{i}-8 \hat{j}$. It moves with constant acceleration and reaches the position $2 \hat{i}+4 \hat{j}$ after $4 \, s$. What is its acceleration?

$A$ particle is projected from the ground with velocity $u$ at an angle $\theta$ with the horizontal. The horizontal range,maximum height,and time of flight are $R, H$,and $T$ respectively. They are given by $R = \frac{u^2 \sin 2\theta}{g}$,$H = \frac{u^2 \sin^2 \theta}{2g}$,and $T = \frac{2u \sin \theta}{g}$. Now,keeping $u$ fixed,$\theta$ is varied from $30^o$ to $60^o$. Then,

$A$ ball of mass $160 \, g$ is thrown up at an angle of $60^{\circ}$ to the horizontal at a speed of $10 \, m/s$. The angular momentum of the ball at the highest point of the trajectory with respect to the point from which the ball is thrown is nearly $\left(g=10 \, m/s^{2}\right)$ (in $kg \cdot m^{2}/s$).

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.
