$A$ particle moves in the $xy$ plane with a constant acceleration $g$ in the negative $y$-direction. Its equation of motion is $y = ax - bx^2$,where $a$ and $b$ are constants. Which of the following are correct?

  • A
    The $x$-component of its velocity is constant.
  • B
    At the origin,the $y$-component of its velocity is $a\sqrt{\frac{g}{2b}}$.
  • C
    At the origin,its velocity makes an angle $\tan^{-1}(a)$ with the $x$-axis.
  • D

$A$ body of mass $m$ thrown up vertically with velocity $v_1$ reaches a maximum height $h_1$ in $t_1$ seconds. Another body of mass $2m$ is projected with a velocity $v_2$ at an angle $\theta$. The second body reaches a maximum height $h_2$ in time $t_2$ seconds. If $t_1 = 2t_2$, then the ratio $\left(\frac{h_1}{h_2}\right)$ is

$A$ fighter plane, flying horizontally with a speed of $360 \text{ km/h}$ at an altitude of $500 \text{ m}$, drops a bomb for a target straight ahead of it on the ground. At what approximate distance ahead of the target should the bomb be dropped? Assume that acceleration due to gravity $g = 10 \text{ m/s}^2$. Neglect air drag.

$A$ projectile has initially the same horizontal velocity as it would acquire if it had moved from rest with uniform acceleration of $3 \, ms^{-2}$ for $0.5 \, minutes$. If the maximum height reached by it is $80 \, m$,then the angle of projection is (Take $g = 10 \, ms^{-2}$)
