A boat is sent across a river in perpendicular direction with a velocity of 8 km/hr. If the resultant velocity of boat is 10 km/hr, then velocity of the river is :
(1) 10 km/hr
(2) 8 km/hr
(3) 6 km/hr
(4) 4 km/hr
A boat moves with a speed of \(5\) km/h relative to water in a river flowing with a speed of \(3\) km/h. Width of the river is \(1\) km. The minimum time taken for a round trip will be:
1. \(5\) min
2. \(60\) min
3. \(20\) min
4. \(30\) min
A river is flowing from \(W\) to \(E\) with a speed of \(5\) m/min. A man can swim in still water with a velocity of \(10\) m/min. In which direction should the man swim so as to take the shortest possible path to go to the south:
1. | \(30^{\circ}\) with downstream |
2. | \(60^{\circ}\) with downstream |
3. | \(120^{\circ}\) with downstream |
4. | South |
If a particle moves in a circle describing equal angles in equal times, its velocity vector:
(1) remains constant.
(2) changes in magnitude.
(3) changes in direction.
(4) changes both in magnitude and direction.
A motorcyclist going round in a circular track at constant speed has:
(1) constant linear velocity
(2) constant acceleration
(3) constant angular velocity
(4) constant force
A particle P is moving in a circle of radius ‘a’ with a uniform speed v. C is the centre of the circle and AB is a diameter. When passing through B, the angular velocity of P about A and C are in the ratio

Certain neutron stars are believed to be rotating at about \(1\) rev/s. If such a star has a radius of \(20\) km, the acceleration of an object on the equator of the star will be:
1. | \(20 \times 10^8 ~\text{m/s}^2\) | 2. | \(8 \times 10^5 ~\text{m/s}^2\) |
3. | \(120 \times 10^5 ~\text{m/s}^2\) | 4. | \(4 \times 10^8 ~\text{m/s}^2\) |
