A boat $$B$$ is moving upstream with velocity $$3\,m/s$$ with respect to ground. An observer standing on boat observes that a swimmer $$S$$ is crossing the river perpendicular to the direction of motion of boat. If river flow velocity is $$4\,m/s$$ and swimmer crosses the river of width $$100\,m$$ in $$50\,\sec,$$ then

C
drift of swimmer along river will be $$50\,m$$

Two bodies $$A$$ (of mass $$1\,kg$$ ) and $$B$$ (of mass $$3\,kg$$ ) are dropped from heights of $$16\,m$$ and $$25\,m,$$ respectively. The ratio of the time taken by them to reach the ground is
For free fall from a height, $$u = 0$$ (initial velocity).
From second equation of motion
$$\eqalign{
& h = ut + \frac{1}{2}g{t^2} \cr
& {\text{or}}\,\,h = 0 + \frac{1}{2}g{t^2} \cr
& \therefore \frac{{{h_1}}}{{{h_2}}} = {\left( {\frac{{{t_1}}}{{{t_2}}}} \right)^2} \cr
& {\text{Given,}}\,{h_1} = 16\;m,{h_2} = 25\;m \cr
& \therefore \frac{{{t_1}}}{{{t_2}}} = \sqrt {\frac{{{h_1}}}{{{h_2}}}} = \sqrt {\frac{{16}}{{25}}} = \frac{4}{5} \cr} $$ NOTE
Time taken by the object in falling does not depend on mass of object.

It was calculated that a shell when fired from a gun with a certain velocity and at an angle of elevation $$\frac{{5\pi }}{{36}}\,rad$$ should strike a given target. In actual practice, it was found that a hill just prevented the trajectory. At what angle (rad) of elevation should the gun be fired to hit the target
Ranges for complementary angles are same
∴ Required Required $$ = \frac{\pi }{2} - \frac{{5\pi }}{{36}} = \frac{{13\pi }}{{36}}$$

A particle starting with certain initial velocity and uniform acceleration covers a distance of $$12\,m$$ in first $$3$$ seconds and a distance of $$30\,m$$ in next $$3$$ seconds. The initial velocity of the particle is
Let $$u$$ be the initial velocity that have to find and $$a$$ be the uniform acceleration of the particle.
For $$t = 3\,s,$$ distance travelled $$S = 12\,m$$ and for $$t = 3 + 3 = 6\,s$$ distance travelled $$S' = 12 + 30 = 42\,m$$
From, $$S = ut + \frac{1}{2}a{t^2}$$
$$\eqalign{
& 12 = u \times 3 + \frac{1}{2} \times a \times {3^2} \cr
& {\text{or}}\,\,24 = 6u + 9a\,......\left( {\text{i}} \right) \cr} $$
Similarly, $$42 = u \times 6 + \frac{1}{2} \times a \times {6^2}$$
$${\text{or}}\,\,42 = 6u + 18a\,......\left( {{\text{ii}}} \right)$$
On solving, we get $$u = 1\,m{s^{ - 1}}$$

A ball is dropped from the top of a building. The ball takes $$0.5\,s$$ to fall past the $$3m$$ length of a window some distance from the top of the building. If the velocities of the ball at the top and at the bottom of the window are $${v_T}$$ and $${v_B}$$ respectively, then (take $$g = 10\,m/{s^2}$$ )
(a) Maximum height in case of projectile is given by
$$\eqalign{
& H = \frac{{{u^2}{{\sin }^2}\theta }}{{2g}} \Rightarrow \frac{{{H_1}}}{{{H_2}}} = \frac{{{{\sin }^2}{\theta _1}}}{{{{\sin }^2}{\theta _2}}} = \frac{{{{\sin }^2}{{30}^ \circ }}}{{{{\sin }^2}{{60}^ \circ }}} \cr
& = \frac{{{{\left( {\frac{1}{2}} \right)}^2}}}{{{{\left( {\frac{{\sqrt 3 }}{2}} \right)}^2}}} = \frac{1}{3} \cr} $$
(b) Range $$R = \frac{{{u^2}\sin 2\theta }}{g}$$
$$\eqalign{
& \Rightarrow \frac{{{R_1}}}{{{R_2}}} = \frac{{\sin \left( {2 \times {{30}^ \circ }} \right)}}{{\sin \left( {2 \times {{60}^ \circ }} \right)}} \cr
& = \frac{{\sin {{60}^ \circ }}}{{\sin {{120}^ \circ }}} = \frac{{\frac{{\sqrt 3 }}{2}}}{{\frac{{\sqrt 3 }}{2}}} = 1 \cr
& \Rightarrow {R_1} = {R_2} \cr} $$
(c) Time of flight $$T = \frac{{2u\sin \theta }}{g}$$
$$\eqalign{
& \Rightarrow \frac{{{T_1}}}{{{T_2}}} = \frac{{\sin {\theta _1}}}{{\sin {\theta _2}}} \cr
& = \frac{{\sin {{30}^ \circ }}}{{\sin {{60}^ \circ }}} = \frac{{\frac{1}{2}}}{{\frac{{\sqrt 3 }}{2}}} = \frac{1}{{\sqrt 3 }} \cr} $$
Hence, their horizontal ranges will be equal. Alternative
In this problem, it is given that two particles are projected at angles $${{{30}^ \circ }}$$ and $${{{60}^ \circ }}$$ which are complementary angles. We know that horizontal range will be same for complementary angles. Hence, their ranges will be equal.

A ball is dropped vertically from a height $$d$$ above the ground. It hits the ground and bounces up vertically to a height $$\frac{d}{2}.$$ Neglecting subsequent motion and air resistance, its velocity $$v$$ varies with the height $$h$$ above the ground as-
KEY CONCEPT
Before hitting the ground, the velocity $$v$$ is given by $$v{^2} = 2gd$$ (quadratic equation and hence parabolic path)
Downwards direction means negative velocity. After collision, the direction become positive and velocity decreases.
Further, $$\eqalign{
& v{'^2} = 2g \times \left( {\frac{d}{2}} \right) = gd; \cr
& \therefore \left( {\frac{v}{{v'}}} \right) = \sqrt 2 \,\,\,or,v = v'\sqrt 2 \cr
& \Rightarrow v' = \frac{v}{{\sqrt 2 }} \cr} $$
As the direction is reversed and speed is decreased graph (A) represents these conditions correctly.

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
Relative velocity
$$ = \left( {3\hat i + 4\hat j} \right) - \left( { - 3\hat i - 4\hat j} \right) = 6\hat i + 8\hat j.$$

Two identical discs of same radius $$R$$ are rotating about their axes in opposite directions with the same constant angular speed $$\omega .$$ The discs are in the same horizontal plane. At time $$t=0,$$ the points $$P$$ and $$Q$$ are facing each other as shown in the figure. The relative speed between the two points $$P$$ and $$Q$$ is $${v_r}.$$ In one time period $$\left( T \right)$$ of rotation of the discs, $${v_r}$$ as a function of time is best represented by-
At $$t=0,$$ the relative velocity will be zero.
At $$t = \frac{T}{4},$$ the relative velocity will be maximum in
magnitude.
At $$t = \frac{T}{2},$$ the relative velocity will be zero.
At $$t = \frac{3T}{4},$$ the relative velocity will be maximum in magnitude
At $$t=T,$$ the relative velocity again becomes zero.
