प्रश्न
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?

उत्तर १
For train A:
Initial velocity, u = 72 km/h = 20 m/s
Time, t = 50 s
Acceleration, aI = 0 (Since it is moving with a uniform velocity)
From second equation of motion, distance (sI)covered by train A can be obtained as:
`s_1 = ut + 1/2 a_1t^2`
= 20 × 50 + 0 = 1000 m
For train B:
Initial velocity, u = 72 km/h = 20 m/s
Acceleration, a = 1 m/s2
Time, t = 50 s
From the second equation of motion, the distance (sII)covered by train A can be obtained as:
`s_u = ut + 1/2 at^2`
`=20 xx 50 + 1/2 xx 1 xx (50)^2 m`
= 1000 + 1250
= 2250 m
Hence, the original distance between the driver of train A and the guard of train B is 2250 – 1000 = 1250 m
उत्तर २
Here length of train A = length of train B = l = 400 m. As speed of both trains u = 72 km h-1 = 20 ms-1 in same direction, hence their relative velocity uBA = 0.
Let initial distance between the two trains be ‘S’ then train B covers the distance (S + 11) = (S + 800) m in time t = 50 s when accelerated with a uniform acceleration a = 1 m/s2.
`:. (s+800) = u_(AB) xx t + 1/2 at^2`
`= 0 + 1/2 xx1xx(50)^2 = 1250 m`
=> S = 1250 - 800 = 450 m
and initial distance between guard of train B from driver of train A = 450 + 800 = 1250 m.

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?
