The Vy – t graph for the ball will be as shown. If the ball covers a displacement y in y direction in time 't' (when it is
at centre O) then it will again travel same distance y in next interval 't'. This is V y
evident from area under v – t graph. In x direction the ball keeps moving
uniformly. It means that it will take equal amount of time for the ball to cover
first and second half of displacements each equal to L.
Hence, without any calculation we can say that the ball will hit the corner C.

distance in any time t
P

Naturally P is the top point and PQ the diameter of any such circle.
Now consider a body moving at an angle q to the vertical. Distance travelled in time t will be
= d cos q
It can be easily proved that d cos q is the length of cord of the circle with diameter d and P as top point; the cord
making an angle q with PQ.
Hence the point following any path lies on such a circle.
(b) Now we consider two possible paths
PQ0 (vertically down)
and – (PQ1 perpendicular to incline)
Acceleration along PQ0 is maximum (= g) but path involved is also large. Acceleration along PQ1, is less but
path involved is shortest. We assume that path of least time lies somewhere in between PQ0 and PQ1.

The problem is solved easily by using the result proved in part (a). Bodies 2

Initial velocity of the insect in this reference frame will be vector sum of two velocities

The stone is at the greatest distance from the origin when
its velocity is perpendicular to its position vector.
The condition for this is that the dot product of velocity vector and position
vector is zero.
