A man standing on a road holds his umbrella at 30° with the vertical to keep the rain away. He throws the umbrella and starts running at 10 km/hr. He finds that raindrops are hitting his head vertically, the speed of raindrops with respect to the road will be:
1. 10 km/hr
2. 20 km/hr
3. 30 km/hr
4. 40 km/hr
A boat is moving with a velocity \(3\hat i + 4\hat j\) with respect to ground. The water in the river is moving with a velocity\(-3\hat i - 4 \hat j\) with respect to ground. The relative velocity of the boat with respect to water is:
1. \(8\hat j\)
2. \(-6\hat i-8\hat j\)
3. \(6\hat i+8\hat j\)
4. \(5\sqrt{2}\)
A river is flowing from east to west at a speed of \(5\) m/min. A man on south bank of river, capable of swimming \(10\) m/min in still water, wants to swim across the river in shortest time. He should swim:
| 1. | Due north |
| 2. | Due north-east |
| 3. | Due north-east with double the speed of the river |
| 4. | None of the above |
A person, aiming to reach the exact opposite point on the other bank of a stream, is swimming with a speed of \(0.5\ \text{m/s}\) at an angle of \(120^\circ\) to the direction of the flow of water. The speed of water in the stream is:
1. \(1\ \text{m/s}\)
2. \(0.5\ \text{m/s}\)
3. \(0.25\ \text{m/s}\)
4. \(0.433\ \text{m/s}\)
A thief is running away on a straight road in a jeep moving with a speed of \(9\ \text{m/s}\). A police man chases him on a motorcycle moving at a speed of \(10\ \text{m/s}\). If the instantaneous separation of the jeep from the motorcycle is \(100\ \text{m}\), how long will it take for the policeman to catch the thief:
1. \(1\) second
2. \(19\) second
3. \(90\) second
4. \(100\) second
A man sitting in a bus travelling in a direction from west to east with a speed of \(40\) km/h observes that the rain-drops are falling vertically downwards. To another man standing on ground the rain will appear:
| 1. | To fall vertically downwards |
| 2. | To fall at an angle going from west to east |
| 3. | To fall at an angle going from east to west |
| 4. | The information given is insufficient to decide the direction of the rain |
A boat takes two hours to travel \(8\ \text{km}\) and back in still water. If the velocity of water is \(4\ \text{km/h}\), the time taken for going upstream \(8\ \text{km}\) and coming back is:
1. \(2\ \text{h}\)
2. \(2\ \text{h}\ 40\ \text{min}\)
3. \(1\ \text{h}\ 20\ \text{min}\)
4. Cannot be estimated with the information given
A \(120\ \text{m}\) long train is moving towards west with a speed of \(10\ \text{m/s}\). A bird flying towards east with a speed of \(5\ \text{m/s}\) crosses the train. The time taken by the bird to cross the train will be:
1. \(16\ \text{s}\)
2. \(12\ \text{s}\)
3. \(10\ \text{s}\)
4. \(8\ \text{s}\)
A boat crosses a river with a velocity of \(8\ \text{km/h}\). If the resulting velocity of the boat is \(10\ \text{km/h}\), then the velocity of the river water is:
1. \(4\ \text{km/h}\)
2. \(6\ \text{km/h}\)
3. \(8\ \text{km/h}\)
4. \(10\ \text{km/h}\)
