A boat is moving with a velocity `v_(bw)=5 km//hr` relative to water. At time `t=0`.the boat passes through a piece of cork floating in water while moving down stream.If it turns back at time `t_(1)=30 min`.
a) when the boat meet the cork again?
b) The distance travelled by the boat during this time.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Time of travelling of both from A to B ,`(T_(1))` and B to C , `(T'_(1)=`time of moving the cork from `A` to `C`.
.
Velocity of boat from `A` to `B`
`vec v_(b,w)+vedc v_(w)=(5+u)km h^(-1)`
And velocity of boat from `B` to `C`
`vec v_(b,w)+vedc v_(w)=(5+u)km h^(-1)`
Distance moved by boat in time `t'_(1)`
`AB=(5+4)t_(1)`
And disannce moved by boat in time`t'_(1)=BC=(5-u)t'_(1)`
Distance moved by cord during this time
`AC=u(t_(1)+t'_(1))`
But `AB=AC+BC`
`(5+u)t_(1)=u(t_(1)+t'_(1))+(5-u)t'_(1)`
`5t_(1)=5t'_(1) rArr t'_(1)=t_(1)=30 min`
Hence, the cord meets the boat again aftre ` 1 h`.`

A boat takes 4 hrs to travel certain distance in a river in down stream and it takes 6 hrs to travel the same distance in upstream. Then the time taken by the boat to travel the same distance in still water is

A boat can be rowed in still water at a speed u. The boat is moving downstream in a river in which water flows at a speed v. There is raft floating in water and therefore moving along with water at speed v. Let the boat overtakes the raft at the moment t = 0. The distance between the boat and raft at a later instant of time t is

A boat can be rowed in still water at a speed u. The boat is moving downstream in a river in which water flows at a speed v. There is raft floating in water and therefore moving along with water at speed v. Let the boat overtakes the raft at the moment t = 0. Let the boat turns back at time t=t_(0) and starts moving towards the raft. The separation between the raft and boat after a time interval t' measured from the moment of turning back is
