$A$ person moves from $A$ to $B$ on a circular path as shown in the figure. If the distance travelled by him is $60 \, m$,then the magnitude of the displacement would be $..... \, m$. (Given $\cos 135^{\circ} = -0.7$)

Two boys conducted experiments on projectile motion with a stopwatch and noted some readings. As one boy throws a stone into the air at an angle with the horizontal,the other boy observes that after $4 \ s$,the stone is moving at an angle of $30^{\circ}$ to the horizontal,and after another $2 \ s$,it is traveling horizontally. The magnitude of the initial velocity of the stone is (Acceleration due to gravity,$g = 10 \ ms^{-2}$):

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.
