$A$ particle moves in the $xy$ plane according to the law $x = a \sin \omega t$ and $y = a(1 - \cos \omega t)$,where $a$ and $\omega$ are constants. The particle traces:

  • A
    a distance proportional to time.
  • B
    a straight line equally inclined to $x$ and $y$ axes.
  • C
    a circle.
  • D
    $(A)$ and $(C)$ both.

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

$A$ 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).
