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.
$(c)$ Show that $\frac{d}{dt}(\hat{r}) = \omega \hat{\theta}$,where $\omega = \frac{d\theta}{dt}$ and $\frac{d}{dt}(\hat{\theta}) = -\omega \hat{r}$.

$A$ small boy is throwing a ball towards a wall $6 \,m$ in front of him. He releases the ball at a height of $1.4 \,m$ from the ground. The ball bounces from the wall at a height of $3 \,m$,rebounds from the ground and reaches the boy's hand exactly at the point of release. Assuming the two bounces (one from the wall and the other from the ground) to be perfectly elastic,how far ahead of the boy did the ball bounce from the ground (in $,m$)?

$A$ truck starts from rest and accelerates uniformly at $2.0 \; m s^{-2}$. At $t = 10 \; s$,a stone is dropped by a person standing on the top of the truck ($6 \; m$ high from the ground). What are the $(a)$ velocity,and $(b)$ acceleration of the stone at $t = 11 \; s$? (Neglect air resistance.)
