A train is moving slowly on a straight track with a constant speed of 2 ms-1. A passenger in that train starts walking at a steady speed of 2 ms-1 to the back of the train in the opposite direction of the motion of the train. So to an observer standing on the platform directly in front of that passenger, the velocity of the passenger appears to be

  • 4 ms-1

  • 2 ms-1

  • 2 ms-1 in the opposite direction of the train

  • zero

A motorboat covers a given distance in 6 h moving downstream on a river. It covers the same distance in 10 h moving upstream. The time it takes to cover the same distance in still water is

  • 9 h

  • 7.5 h

  • 6.5 h

  • 8 h


B.

7.5 h

If vw be the velocity of water and vb be the velocity of motorboat in still water.

The distance covered by motorboat in moving downstream in 6 h is

                    x = (vb + vw) × 6                        ..... (i)

Same distance covered by motorboat in moving upstream in 10 h is

                    x = (vb − vw) × 10                      ..... (ii)

From Eqs. (i) and (ii), we have

vb + vw × 6 = vb - vw × 10                  vm = vb4                x = vb + vw × 6 = 7.5 vb

Time taken by the motorboat to cover the same distance in still water is

t = xvb = 7.5 vbvb = 7.5 h

A body starts from rest and moves with constant acceleration for t sec. It travels a distance x1 in first half of time and x2 in next half of time, then

  • x2 = x1

  • x2 = 2x1

  • x2 = 3x1

  • x2 = 4x1

From the top of a tower a stone is thrown up which reaches the ground in a time t1. A second stone thrown down with the same speed reaches the ground in a time t2. A third stone released from rest from the same between reaches the ground in a time t3. Then

  • 1t3 = 1t2 - 1t1

  • t32 = t12 - t22

  • t3 = t1 + t22

  • t3 = t1 t2

  • 90o

  • 45o

  • 180o

  • 0o
