(A) Since $\overrightarrow A \cdot \overrightarrow B = |A||B| \cos \theta = AB \cos \theta$,given $AB \cos \theta = AB$,we have $\cos \theta = 1$,so $\theta = 0^\circ$.
$(b)$ At maximum height,the vertical component of velocity becomes zero,so the velocity is only the horizontal component,which is $u \cos \theta$.
$(c)$ The projection of a vector $\vec{V} = x\widehat i + y\widehat j + z\widehat k$ on the $y$-axis is the $y$-component,which is $-2$.

$A$ particle is moving in a circular path. The acceleration and momentum of the particle at a certain moment are $\vec{a} = (4\hat{i} + 3\hat{j}) \, m/s^2$ and $\vec{P} = (8\hat{i} - 6\hat{j}) \, kg \cdot m/s$. The motion of the particle is:

$A$ particle performs uniform circular motion with an angular momentum $L$. If the frequency of the particle's motion is doubled and its kinetic energy is halved, then its angular momentum becomes

$A$ particle moving in a circle of radius $R$ with uniform speed takes time $T$ to complete one revolution. If this particle is projected with the same speed at an angle $\theta$ to the horizontal,the maximum height attained by it is equal to $4 R$. The angle of projection $\theta$ is then given by :

$A$ projectile is fired at a speed of $100 \, m/s$ at an angle of $37^o$ above the horizontal. At the highest point,the projectile breaks into two parts of mass ratio $1:3$,the smaller coming to rest. Then the distance of the heavier part from the launching point is ........... $m$.
