$A$ projectile is launched from the origin in the $xy$ plane ($x$ is the horizontal and $y$ is the vertically up direction) making an angle $\alpha$ from the $x$-axis. If its distance $r = \sqrt{x^2 + y^2}$ from the origin is plotted against $x$,the resulting curves show different behaviors for launch angles $\alpha_1$ and $\alpha_2$ as shown in the figure. For $\alpha_1$,$r(x)$ keeps increasing with $x$,while for $\alpha_2$,$r(x)$ increases and reaches a maximum,then decreases and goes through a minimum before increasing again. The switch between these two cases takes place at a critical angle $\alpha_c$ (where $\alpha_1 < \alpha_c < \alpha_2$). The value of $\alpha_c$ is (where $v_0$ is the initial speed of the projectile and $g$ is the acceleration due to gravity).

$A$ particle has an initial velocity of $(3\hat i + 4\hat j) \; ms^{-1}$ and an acceleration of $(0.4\hat i + 0.3\hat j) \; ms^{-2}$. Its speed after $10 \; s$ is:

$A$ ball is hit by a batsman at an angle of $37^o$ with an initial velocity $u = 15 \ m/s$ as shown in the figure. The man standing at $P$ is at a distance of $9 \ m$ from the point $B$ where the ball would strike the ground. What is the minimum velocity at which the man should run to catch the ball before it hits the ground? Assume the height of the man is negligible. ........ $m/s$

Two particles $A$ and $B$ are projected simultaneously in the directions shown in the figure with velocities $V_A = 20 \ ms^{-1}$ and $V_B = 10 \ ms^{-1}$ respectively. They collide in the air after $0.5 \ s$. Find $(a)$ the angle $\theta$ and $(b)$ the distance $x$.
