A thief is running away on a straight road in a jeep moving with a speed of \(9\) m/s. A policeman chases him on a motorcycle moving at a speed of \(10\) m/s. If the instantaneous separation of the jeep from the motorcycle is \(100\) m, how long will it take for the policeman to catch the thief?
1. \(1\) s
2. \(19\) s
3. \(90\) s
4. \(100\) s
An elevator whose floor-to-ceiling height is \(12\) meters, moves upward with an acceleration of \(2.2~\text{m/s}^2.\) After \(1.5~\text s\) since starting, a bolt falls from its ceiling. The time taken by the bolt to reach the floor is:
1. \(1~\text{s}\)
2. \(2~\text{s}\)
3. \(\sqrt{2}~\text{s}\)
4. \(\sqrt{3}~\text{s}\)
Suppose you are riding a bike with a speed of \(20~\text{m/s}\) due east relative to a person \(A\) who is walking on the ground towards the east. If your friend \(B\) walking on the ground due west measures your speed as \(30~\text{m/s}\) due east, then the relative velocity between two reference frames \(A\) and \(B\) is:
1. | the velocity of \(A\) with respect to \(B\) is \(5~\text{m/s}\) towards the east. |
2. | the velocity of \(A\) with respect to \(B\) is \(5~\text{m/s}\) towards the west. |
3. | the velocity of \(A\) with respect to \(B\) is \(10~\text{m/s}\) towards the east. |
4. | the velocity of \(A\) with respect to \(B\) is \(10~\text{m/s}\) towards the west. |
Two cars \(A\) and \(B\) are travelling in the same direction with velocities \(v_1\) and \(v_2\) \((v_1>v_2).\) When the car \(A\) is at a distance \(d\) behind the car \(B,\) the driver of the car \(A\) applied the brake producing uniform retardation \(a.\) There will be no collision when:
1. \(d < \frac{\left( v_{1} - v_{2} \right)^{2}}{2 a}\)
2. \(d < \frac{v_{1}^{2} - v_{2}^{2}}{2 a}\)
3. \(d > \frac{\left(v_{1} - v_{2}\right)^{2}}{2 a}\)
4. \(d > \frac{v_{1}^{2} - v_{2}^{2}}{2 a}\)
A ball is bouncing elastically with a speed of \(1~\text{m/s}\) between the walls of a railway compartment of size \(10~\text m\) in a direction perpendicular to the walls. The train is moving at a constant velocity of \(10~\text{m/s}\) parallel to the direction of motion of the ball. As seen from the ground:
(a) | the direction of motion of the ball changes every \(10\) sec. |
(b) | the speed of the ball changes every \(10\) sec. |
(c) | the average speed of the ball over any \(20\) sec intervals is fixed. |
(d) | the acceleration of the ball is the same as from the train. |
Choose the correct option:
1. | (a), (c), (d) | 2. | (a), (c) |
3. | (b), (c), (d) | 4. | (a), (b), (c) |
