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 m/s at an angle of 1200 with the direction of flow of water. The speed of water in the stream is:
1. 1 m/s
2. 0.5 m/s
3. 0.25 m/s
4. 0.433 m/s
A thief is running away on a straight road in a jeep moving with a speed of 9 m/s. A police man chases him on a motor cycle moving at a speed of 10 m/s. If the instantaneous separation of jeep from the motor cycle is 100 m, how long will it take for the policemen 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 km and back in still water. If the velocity of water is 4 km/h, the time taken for going upstream 8 km and coming back is
1. 2h
2. 2h 40 min
3. 1h 20 min
4. Cannot be estimated with the information given
A 120 m long train is moving towards west with a speed of 10 m/s. A bird flying towards east with a speed of 5 m/s crosses the train. The time taken by the bird to cross the train will be
1. 16 sec
2. 12 sec
3. 10 sec
4. 8 sec
A boat crosses a river with a velocity of 8 km/h. If the resulting velocity of boat is 10 km/h, then the velocity of river water is
1. 4 km/h
2. 6 km/h
3. 8 km/h
4. 10 km/h
A vector \(\vec{a}\) is turned without a change in its length through a small angle \(d\theta\)
1. \(0,\)
2. \(ad\theta,\) \(0\)
3. \(0,\) \(0\)
4. none of these
