1. 7 units
2. units
3. 8.5 units
4. 10 units

1. Speed only
2. Velocity only
3. Acceleration only
4. None of these
A boat is sent across a river in a perpendicular direction with a velocity of \(8\ \text{km/hr}\). If the resultant velocity of the boat is \(10\ \text{km/hr}\), then the velocity of the river is:
1. \(10\ \text{km/hr}\)
2. \(8\ \text{km/hr}\)
3. \(6\ \text{km/hr}\)
4. \(4\ \text{km/hr}\)
A boat moves with a speed of \(5\ย \text{km/h}\) relative to water in a river flowing with a speed of \(3\ย \text{km/h}\) and having a width of \(1\ \text{km}\). The minimum time taken for a round trip (returning to the initial point) is:
1. \(5\ \text{min}\)
2. \(60\ \text{min}\)
3. \(20\ \text{min}\)
4. \(30\ \text{min}\)
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 10 m/min. In which direction should the man swim so as to take the shortest possible path to go to the south.
1. 30° with downstream
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.
3. changes in direction.
4. changes both in magnitude and direction.
A motorcyclist going round in a circular track at a constant speed has:
1. constant linear velocity.
2. constant acceleration.
3. constant angular velocity.
4. constant force.
A particle \(P\) is moving in a circle of radius \(a\) with a uniform speed \(v\). \(C\) is the centre of the circle and \(AB\) is a diameter. When passing through \(B\) the angular velocity of \(P\) about \(A\) and \(C\) are in the ratio:
1. \(1 : 1\)
2. \( 1 : 2\)
3. \(2 : 1\)
4. \(4 : 1\)
The angular speed of a flywheel making \(120\ \text{revolutions/minute }\)is:
1. \(2 ๐\ \text{๐๐๐/๐ }\)
2. \(4 ๐^2\ \text{๐๐๐/๐ }\)
3. \(๐\ \text{๐๐๐/๐ }\)
4. \(4 ๐\ \text{๐๐๐/๐ }\)
Certain neutron stars are believed to be rotating at about \(1\ \text{rev/sec}\). If such a star has a radius of \(20\ \text{km}\), the acceleration of an object on the equator of the star will be:
1. \(20ร10^8\ \text{m/s}^2\)
2. \(8ร10^5\ \text{m/s}^2\)
3. \(120ร10^5\ \text{m/s}^2\)
4. \(4ร10^8\ \text{m/s}^2\)
