A man is walking on a horizontal road with a speed of 4 km/h. Suddenly, the rain starts vertically downwards with a speed of 7 km/h. The magnitude of the relative velocity of the rain with respect to the man is:
1. km/h
2. km/h
3. 8 km/h
4. 4 km/h
If a body is accelerating, then:
1. | it must speed up. |
2. | it may move at the same speed. |
3. | it may move with the same velocity. |
4. | it must slow down. |
A shell is fired vertically upward with a velocity of 20 m/s from a trolley moving horizontally with a velocity of 10 m/s. A person on the ground observes the motion of the shell-like a parabola whose horizontal range is: (g = 10 m/)
1. | 20 m | 2. | 10 m |
3. | 40 m | 4. | 400 m |
An object of mass m is projected from the ground with a momentum p at such an angle that its maximum height is 1/4 th of its horizontal range. Its minimum kinetic energy in its path will be
1. | \(\frac{p^2}{8 m} \) | 2. | \(\frac{p^2}{4 m} \) |
3. | \(\frac{3 p^2}{4 m} \) | 4. | \(\frac{p^2}{m}\) |
A particle moving on a curved path possesses a velocity of 3 m/s towards the north at an instant. After 10 s, it is moving with speed 4 m/s towards the west. The average acceleration of the particle is-
1. | 0.25 , 37° south to east |
2. | 0.25 , 37° west to north |
3. | 0.5 , 37° east to north |
4. | 0.5 , 37° south to west |
A man can row a boat with a speed of 10 kmph in still water. The river flows at 6 kmph. If he crosses the river from one bank to the other along the shortest possible path, time taken to cross the river of width 1 km is:
1. 1/8 h
2. 1/4 h
3. 1/2 h
4. 1 h
A bus is going to the North at a speed of 30 kmph. It makes a 90° left turn without changing the speed. The change in the velocity of the bus is:
1. | 30 kmph towards W |
2. | 30 kmph towards S-W |
3. | 42.4 kmph towards S-W |
4. | 42.4 kmph towards N-W |
Two bullets are fired simultaneously horizontally and at different speeds from the same place. Which bullet will hit the ground first? (Air resistance is neglected)
1. | The faster one |
2. | The slower one |
3. | Depends on masses |
4. | Both will reach simultaneously |
An aeroplane flies \(400\) m north and then \(300\) m west and then flies \(1200\) m upwards. Its net displacement is:
1. | \(1200\) m | 2. | \(1300\) m |
3. | \(1400\) m | 4. | \(1500\) m |
