Problem 1.27

A particle moves in the plane xyx y with constant acceleration w directed along the negative yy axis. The equation of motion of the particle has the form y=axbx2,y=a x-b x^{2}, where aa and bb are positive constants. Find the velocity of the particle at the origin of coordinates.

v0=V(1+a2)w/2bv_{0}=V \overline{\left(1+a^{2}\right) w / 2 b}
