$A$ 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.

$A$ ball is thrown at different angles with the same speed $u$ and from the same point. It has the same range in both cases. If $y_1$ and $y_2$ are the heights attained in the two cases,then $y_1 + y_2$ is equal to:

The top of a smooth inclined plane of length $20 \sqrt{2} \,m$ is connected to the edge of a well of diameter $40 \,m$ making an angle $45^{\circ}$ with the vertical as shown in the figure. $A$ body is projected along the inclined plane with a velocity '$u$'. If the body crosses the well without falling into it, then the minimum value of '$u$' is $(g=10 \,ms^{-2})$.
