$A$ particle moves in the $xy$ plane with a constant acceleration $g$ in the negative $y$-direction. Its equation of motion is $y = ax - bx^2$,where $a$ and $b$ are constants. Which of the following are correct?

  • A
    The $x$-component of its velocity is constant.
  • B
    At the origin,the $y$-component of its velocity is $a\sqrt{\frac{g}{2b}}$.
  • C
    At the origin,its velocity makes an angle $\tan^{-1}(a)$ with the $x$-axis.
  • D
