The kinetic energy $K$ of a particle moving along a circle of radius $R$ depends on the distance covered $s$ as $K = as^2$,where $a$ is a constant. The force acting on the particle is:

  • A
    $2a\frac{s^2}{R}$
  • B
    $2as\left(1 + \frac{s^2}{R^2}\right)^{1/2}$
  • C
    $2as$
  • D
    $2a\frac{R^2}{s}$

Show that for a projectile,the angle between the velocity and the $x$-axis as a function of time is given by $\theta(t) = \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{v_{0y} - gt}{v_{0x}}\right)$.
Show that the projection angle $\theta_0$ for a projectile launched from the origin is given by $\theta_0 = \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{4h_m}{R}\right)$,where the symbols have their usual meanings.

$A$ person walks in such a way that he covers equal distance in each step. The person takes $2$ steps forward towards East, then takes a right turn and walks $4$ steps towards South, then takes a right turn and walks $6$ steps towards West, and then takes a right turn and walks further. The direction of his final position after a total of $20$ steps walk with respect to his initial position is:
