A particle starts from the origin at t=0 and moves in the x-y plane with a constant acceleration 'a' in the y direction. Its equation of motion is $y=b{x}^2$. The x component of its velocity (at t=0) will be:

2. $\sqrt{\frac{2a}{b}}$

3. $\frac{a}{2b}$

4. $\sqrt{\frac{a}{2b}}$

A boat is sent across a river in perpendicular direction with a velocity of 8 km/hr. If the resultant velocity of boat is 10 km/hr, then velocity of the river is :

(2) 8 km/hr

(3) 6 km/hr

(4) 4 km/hr

A boat moves with a speed of 5 km/h relative to water in a river flowing with a speed of 3 km/h. Width of the river is 1 km. The minimum time taken for a round trip will be

2. 60 min

3. 20 min

4. 30 min

A river is flowing from W to E with a speed of 5 m/min. A man can swim in still water with a velocity of 10 m/min. In which direction should the man swim so as to take the shortest possible path to go to the south.

2. 60° with downstream

3. 120° with downstream

4. South

If a particle moves in a circle describing equal angles in equal times, its velocity vector:

(1) remains constant.

(2) changes in magnitude.
