Problem

A point moves uniformly in a circle of radius 5 cm5\,\text{cm}, completing one revolution every 2.0 s2.0\,\text{s}. Its shadow on a fixed diameter is observed. (i) Find the maximum speed of the shadow. (ii) Determine the displacement of the shadow from the centre 0.50 s0.50\,\text{s} after it passes through the extreme position.
