An athlete completes one round of a circular track of radius $R$ in $40 \, s$. What will be his displacement at the end of $2 \, min \, 20 \, s$?

An aeroplane executes a horizontal loop at a speed of $720 \text{ km/h}$ with its wings banked at $45^{\circ}$. What is the radius of the loop (in $\text{ km}$)? Take $g = 10 \text{ m/s}^2$.

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 $\frac{d}{dt}(\hat{\theta}) = -\omega \hat{r}$.
$(d)$ For a particle moving along a spiral given by $\vec{r} = a\theta \hat{r}$,where $a = 1$ (unit),find the dimensions of $a$.
$(e)$ Find velocity and acceleration in polar vector representation for a particle moving along the spiral described in $(d)$ above.

$A$ cart moves with a constant speed along a horizontal circular path. From the cart,a particle is thrown up vertically with respect to the cart.

$A$ particle has an initial velocity of $(\hat{i} + \hat{j}) \, m/s$ and an acceleration of $(\hat{i} + \hat{j}) \, m/s^2$. Its speed after $10 \, s$ will be:

In a circus,a performer throws an apple towards a hoop held at $45 \, m$ height by another performer standing on a high platform (see figure). The thrower aims for the hoop and throws the apple with a speed of $24 \, m/s$. At the exact moment that the thrower releases the apple,the other performer drops the hoop. The hoop falls straight down. At what height above the ground does the apple go through the hoop (in $, m$)?
