Particle moves in the xy-plane with a constant acceleration g in the negative y-direction. Its equation of motion is y = ax - bx2, where a and b are constants. Which of the following are correct?

a
The x-component of its velocity is not constant.
b
At the origin, the y-component of its velocity is 2ag/(2b)
c
At the origin, its velocity makes an angle tan-1 a with the x-axis.
d
The particle does not move like a projectile.

detailed solution

Correct option is C

A particle moves in the xy-plane with a constant acceleration g in the negative y-direction. Its equation of motion is y = ax - bx2, where a and b are constant. Then the correct statements are(i) The x-component of its velocity is constant.(ii) At the origin, the y-component of its velocity is ag/2b(iii) At the origin, its velocity makes an angle tan-1 a with the x-axis.(iv) The particle moves exactly like a projectile.
