$A$ rigid uniform bar $AB$ of length $L$ is slipping from its vertical position on a frictionless floor (as shown in the figure). At some instant of time,the angle made by the bar with the vertical is $\theta$. Which of the following statements about its motion is/are correct?
$[A]$ The midpoint of the bar will fall vertically downward
$[B]$ The trajectory of the point $A$ is a parabola
$[C]$ Instantaneous torque about the point in contact with the floor is proportional to $\sin \theta$
$[D]$ When the bar makes an angle $\theta$ with the vertical,the displacement of its midpoint from the initial position is proportional to $(1-\cos \theta)$
