A rocket is moving in a gravity free space with a constant acceleration of $2\mathrm{ms}^{-2}$ along $+x$ direction (shown in figure). The length of a chamber inside the rocket is $4\mathrm{m}$ . A ball is thrown from the left end of the chamber in $+x$ direction with a speed of $0.3\mathrm{ms}^{-1}$ relative to the rocket. At the same time, another ball is thrown in $-x$ direction with a speed of $0.2\mathrm{ms}^{-1}$ from its right end relative to the rocket. The time in seconds when the two balls hit each.
Correct Answer: 2 or 8
Explanation:
Let us consider motion of two balls with respect to rocket.

Motion of ball A relative to rocket
Maximum distance of ball A from left wall is
$S _ {A} = \frac {u ^ {2}}{2 a} = \frac {0 . 3 \times 0 . 3}{2 \times 2} = \frac {0 . 0 9}{4} \approx 0. 0 2 \mathrm{m} \left\{\because 0 = u ^ {2} - 2 a S \right\}$
So, collision of two balls will take place very near to left wall.
Motion of ball B relative to rocket
$\begin{array}{c c} \longleftarrow 2 \mathrm{ms} ^ {- 2} \\ \longleftarrow \circ & \longleftarrow + \mathrm{ve} \\ 0. 2 \mathrm{ms} ^ {- 1} & - \mathrm{ve} \end{array}$
$S = u t + \frac {1}{2} a t ^ {2}$
$\Rightarrow - 4 = - 0. 2 t - \left(\frac {1}{2}\right) 2 t ^ {2}$
Solving this equation, we get
$t = 1. 9 \mathrm{s}$
Nearest Integer = 2 s

Motion of ball A relative to rocket
Maximum distance of ball A from left wall is
$S _ {A} = \frac {u ^ {2}}{2 a} = \frac {0 . 3 \times 0 . 3}{2 \times 2} = \frac {0 . 0 9}{4} \approx 0. 0 2 \mathrm{m} \left\{\because 0 = u ^ {2} - 2 a S \right\}$
So, collision of two balls will take place very near to left wall.

$\begin{array}{c c} \longleftarrow 2 \mathrm{ms} ^ {- 2} \\ \longleftarrow \circ & \longleftarrow + \mathrm{ve} \\ 0. 2 \mathrm{ms} ^ {- 1} & - \mathrm{ve} \end{array}$
$S = u t + \frac {1}{2} a t ^ {2}$
$\Rightarrow - 4 = - 0. 2 t - \left(\frac {1}{2}\right) 2 t ^ {2}$
Solving this equation, we get
$t = 1. 9 \mathrm{s}$
Nearest Integer = 2 s

Airplanes A and B are flying with constant velocity in the same vertical plane at angles $30^{\circ}$ and $60^{\circ}$ with respect to the horizontal respectively as shown in figure. The speed of A is $100\sqrt{3}$ ms $^{-1}$ . At time t=0 s, an observer in A finds B at a distance of 500 m. This observer sees B moving with a constant velocity perpendicular to the line of motion of A. If at $t=t_{0}$ , A just escapes being hit by B, $t_{0}$ in seconds is
Correct Answer: 5
Explanation:
Relative velocity of B with respect to A is perpendicular to line PA. Therefore, along the line PA, velocity components of A and B should be same.
