An aeroplane has to go from a point A to another point B, 500 km away due 30° east of north. A wind is blowing due north at a speed of 20 m/s. The air-speed of the plane is 150 m/s. Find the time taken by the plane to go from A to B.

उत्तर
Given:
Distance between points A and B = 500 km
B from A is 30˚ east of north.
Speed of wind due north, vw = 20 m/s
Airspeed of the plane, va = 150 m/s
Let \[\vec{R}\] be the resultant direction of the plane to reach point B.
Time taken by the plane to reach point B from point A: \[\sin^{- 1} \left( \frac{1}{15} \right) = 3^\circ 48'\]
⇒ 30° + 3°48' = 33°48
\[R = \sqrt{A^2 + B^2 + 2AB\cos\theta}\]
\[R = \sqrt{150 + 20 + 2\left( 150 \right)\left( 20 \right) \cos\left( 33^\circ48' \right)}\]
\[ = \sqrt{27886} = 167 \text{ m/s } \]
\[\text{ Time } = \frac{s}{v} = \frac{500000}{167}\]
\[ = 2994 s = 49 . 0 \approx 50 \text{ minutes } \]

Two trains A and B of length 400 m each are moving on two parallel tracks with a uniform speed of 72 km h–1 in the same direction, with A ahead of B. The driver of B decides to overtake A and accelerates by 1 m/s2. If after 50 s, the guard of B just brushes past the driver of A, what was the original distance between them?

A popular game in Indian villages is goli which is played with small glass balls called golis. The goli of one player is situated at a distance of 2.0 m from the goli of the second player. This second player has to project his goli by keeping the thumb of the left hand at the place of his goli, holding the goli between his two middle fingers and making the throw. If the projected goli hits the goli of the first player, the second player wins. If the height from which the goli is projected is 19.6 cm from the ground and the goli is to be projected horizontally, with what speed should it be projected so that it directly hits the stationery goli without falling on the ground earlier?

A man is standing on top of a building 100 m high. He throws two balls vertically, one at t = 0 and other after a time interval (less than 2 seconds). The later ball is thrown at a velocity of half the first. The vertical gap between first and second ball is +15 m at t = 2 s. The gap is found to remain constant. Calculate the velocity with which the balls were thrown and the exact time interval between their throw.
