Correct Answer: 60
Explanation:
$\begin{array}{r l} h = u t - \frac {1}{2} g t ^ {2} \\ & \Rightarrow g t ^ {2} - 2 u t + 2 h = 0 \\ & \Rightarrow t _ {1} t _ {2} = \frac {2 h}{g} \text { and } t _ {1} + t _ {2} = \frac {2 u}{g} = T \\ & \text { Since } (t _ {2} - t _ {1}) ^ {2} = (t _ {1} + t _ {2}) ^ {2} - 4 t _ {1} t _ {2} \\ & \Rightarrow 1 6 = 6 4 - 4 \left(\frac {2 h}{g}\right) \\ & \Rightarrow h = 6 0 \mathrm{m} \end{array}$

An insect moves with a constant velocity v from one corner of a room to other corner which is opposite of the first corner along the largest diagonal of room. If the insect cannot fly and dimensions of room is $a \times a \times a$ , then the minimum time in which the insect can move is $\frac{a}{v}$ times the square root of a number n, then n is equal to?
Correct Answer: 5
Explanation:
$(\Delta S) _ {\min} = \left(\sqrt {a ^ {2} + \frac {a ^ {2}}{4}}\right) \times 2 = a \sqrt {5}$
$\begin{array}{r l} \Rightarrow & t _ {\min} = \frac {(\Delta s) _ {\min}}{v} = \frac {a \sqrt {5}}{v} \\ \Rightarrow & n = 5 \end{array}$

A swimmer jumps from a bridge over a canal and swims 1 km up stream. After that first km, he passes a floating cork. He continues swimming for half an hour and then turns around and swims back to the bridge. The swimmer and the cork reach the bridge at the same time. Assuming the swimmer had been swimming at a constant speed, calculate how fast does the water in the canal flow in kmh $^{-1}$ .
Correct Answer: 1
Explanation:
Let $v_{r}=u$ and $v_{sr}=v$ , then
Time taken by swimmer to go from M to O and O to B is equal to the time taken by cork to go from M to B.
$\begin{array}{r l} & {\frac {1}{2} + \frac {1 + \frac {v - u}{2}}{v + u} = \frac {1}{u}} \\ {\Rightarrow} & {\frac {1}{2} + \frac {2 + v - u}{2 (v + u)} = \frac {1}{u}} \\ {\Rightarrow} & {\frac {(v + u + 2 + v - u)}{2 (v + u)} = \frac {1}{u}} \\ {\Rightarrow} & {(2 v + 2) u = 2 (v + u)} \\ {\Rightarrow} & {2 v u + 2 u = 2 v + 2 u} \\ {\Rightarrow} & {u = 1 \mathrm{kmh} ^ {- 1}} \end{array}$
Time taken by swimmer to go from M to O and O to B is equal to the time taken by cork to go from M to B.

Correct Answer: 10
Explanation:
$x_{\mathrm{man}} = vt$
$\Rightarrow \frac {O A}{A D} = \frac {B C}{B D}$
$\begin{array}{r l} \Rightarrow & \frac {1 0 \mathrm{m}}{x _ {\mathrm{man}}} = \frac {2 \mathrm{m}}{x _ {\mathrm{head}} - x _ {\mathrm{man}}} \\ \Rightarrow & x _ {\mathrm{head}} = \frac {5}{4} x _ {\mathrm{man}} = \frac {5}{4} v t \end{array}$
Velocity of shadow of head = 10 ms $^{-1}$
$\Rightarrow \frac {O A}{A D} = \frac {B C}{B D}$
$\begin{array}{r l} \Rightarrow & \frac {1 0 \mathrm{m}}{x _ {\mathrm{man}}} = \frac {2 \mathrm{m}}{x _ {\mathrm{head}} - x _ {\mathrm{man}}} \\ \Rightarrow & x _ {\mathrm{head}} = \frac {5}{4} x _ {\mathrm{man}} = \frac {5}{4} v t \end{array}$

A police jeep is chasing a culprit going on a motor bike. The motor bike crosses a turning at a speed of $72 \, kmh^{-1}$ . The jeep follows it a speed of $90 \, kmh^{-1}$ crossing the turning ten seconds later than the bike. Assuming that they travel at constant speeds, how far from the turning will the jeep catch up with the bike? (in km)
Correct Answer: 1
Explanation:
Speed of bike is
$v _ {b} = 7 2 \times \frac {5}{1 8} = 2 0 \mathrm{ms} ^ {- 1}$
Speed of jeep is
$v _ {j} = 9 0 \times \frac {5}{1 8} = 2 5 \mathrm{ms} ^ {- 1}$
Relative velocity of jeep w. r. t. bike is
$v _ {j b} = 2 5 - 2 0 = 5 \mathrm{ms} ^ {- 1}$
Distance covered by bike in 10 s is
$s _ {b} = 2 0 \times 1 0 = 2 0 0 \mathrm{m}$
Time taken by Jeep to cover 200 m with velocity $5 \, ms^{-1}$ is
$t = \frac {2 0 0}{5} = 4 0 \mathrm{s}$
Therefore distance covered by police jeep in 40 s is
$s _ {j} = 4 0 \times 2 5 = 1 0 0 0 \mathrm{m} = 1 \mathrm{km}$
$v _ {b} = 7 2 \times \frac {5}{1 8} = 2 0 \mathrm{ms} ^ {- 1}$
Speed of jeep is
$v _ {j} = 9 0 \times \frac {5}{1 8} = 2 5 \mathrm{ms} ^ {- 1}$
Relative velocity of jeep w. r. t. bike is
$v _ {j b} = 2 5 - 2 0 = 5 \mathrm{ms} ^ {- 1}$
Distance covered by bike in 10 s is
$s _ {b} = 2 0 \times 1 0 = 2 0 0 \mathrm{m}$
Time taken by Jeep to cover 200 m with velocity $5 \, ms^{-1}$ is
$t = \frac {2 0 0}{5} = 4 0 \mathrm{s}$
Therefore distance covered by police jeep in 40 s is
$s _ {j} = 4 0 \times 2 5 = 1 0 0 0 \mathrm{m} = 1 \mathrm{km}$

A boy standing on a long railroad car throws a ball straight upwards. The car is moving on the horizontal road with an acceleration of $1 \, ms^{-2}$ and projection velocity in the vertical direction is $9.8 \, ms^{-1}$ . How far behind the boy will the ball fall on the car? (in m)
Correct Answer: 2
Explanation:
Time when velocity of ball is zero
$0 = 9. 8 \times g t$
$\Rightarrow t = \frac {9 . 8}{9 . 8} = 1 \mathrm{s}$
So, total time taken by ball to come back is 2 s.
Distance travelled by trolley in 2 s is
$s = \frac {1}{2} a t ^ {2} = \frac {1}{2} \times 1 \times 2 ^ {2} = 2 \mathrm{m}$
So, ball will fall 2 m behind the boy.
$0 = 9. 8 \times g t$
$\Rightarrow t = \frac {9 . 8}{9 . 8} = 1 \mathrm{s}$
So, total time taken by ball to come back is 2 s.
Distance travelled by trolley in 2 s is
$s = \frac {1}{2} a t ^ {2} = \frac {1}{2} \times 1 \times 2 ^ {2} = 2 \mathrm{m}$
So, ball will fall 2 m behind the boy.

Correct Answer: 4
Explanation:
$v_{avg} = \frac{2v_{0}(v_{1} + v_{2})}{2v_{0} + v_{1} + v_{2}}$
$\Rightarrow v _ {a v g} = \frac {2 \times 3 (4 . 5 + 7 . 5)}{6 + 4 . 5 + 7 . 5} \mathrm{ms} ^ {- 1}$
$\Rightarrow v _ {a v g} = \frac {6 \times 1 2}{1 8} \mathrm{ms} ^ {- 1} = 4 \mathrm{ms} ^ {- 1}$
$\Rightarrow v _ {a v g} = \frac {2 \times 3 (4 . 5 + 7 . 5)}{6 + 4 . 5 + 7 . 5} \mathrm{ms} ^ {- 1}$
