A particle moving in the xy plane experiences a velocity dependent force
$$\overrightarrow F = k\left( {{v_y}\widehat i + {v_x}\widehat j} \right)$$ , where v_x and v_y are the
x and y components of its velocity $$\overrightarrow v $$ . If $$\overrightarrow a $$ is the
acceleration of the particle, then
which of the following statements is true for the particle?

An insect is at the bottom of a hemispherical ditch of radius 1 m. It crawls up the ditch but starts slipping after it is at height h from the bottom. If the coefficient of friction between the ground and the insect is 0.75, then h is :
(g = 10 ms^–2)

A spaceship in space sweeps stationary interplanetary dust. As a result, its mass
increases at a rate $${{dM\left( t \right)} \over {dt}}$$ = bv²(t), where v(t) is its instantaneous velocity. The instantaneous acceleration of the satellite is :

A small ball of mass m is thrown upward with velocity u from the ground. The ball experiences a resistive force mkv² where v is its speed. The maximum height attained by the ball is :
