The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to determine the angle at which a body (stone) must be projected from a car moving at a speed of 45 km/h so that its resultant motion is perpendicular to the direction of the car. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Convert the speed of the car from km/h to m/s**: \[ \text{Speed of car} = 45 \text{ km/h} = \frac{45 \times 1000}{3600} = 12.5 \text{ m/s} \] 2. **Identify the speed of the stone**: The speed of the stone is given as 25 m/s. 3. **Set up the vector components**: - Let the car's velocity vector be \( \vec{V_c} = 12.5 \hat{i} \) (along the x-axis). - Let the stone's velocity vector be \( \vec{V_s} \) which can be expressed in terms of its magnitude and angle \( \theta \): \[ \vec{V_s} = 25 \cos(\theta) \hat{i} + 25 \sin(\theta) \hat{j} \] 4. **Find the resultant velocity**: The resultant velocity \( \vec{V_r} \) is given by: \[ \vec{V_r} = \vec{V_c} + \vec{V_s} = (12.5 + 25 \cos(\theta)) \hat{i} + (25 \sin(\theta)) \hat{j} \] 5. **Condition for perpendicularity**: For the resultant velocity to be perpendicular to the car's velocity, the dot product of \( \vec{V_r} \) with \( \vec{V_c} \) must be zero: \[ (12.5 + 25 \cos(\theta)) \cdot 12.5 + (25 \sin(\theta)) \cdot 0 = 0 \] Simplifying this gives: \[ 12.5 + 25 \cos(\theta) = 0 \] 6. **Solve for \( \cos(\theta) \)**: \[ 25 \cos(\theta) = -12.5 \implies \cos(\theta) = -\frac{12.5}{25} = -\frac{1}{2} \] 7. **Find the angle \( \theta \)**: The angle \( \theta \) for which \( \cos(\theta) = -\frac{1}{2} \) is: \[ \theta = 120^\circ \quad \text{(in the second quadrant)} \] ### Final Answer: The body must be projected at an angle of \( 120^\circ \) from the direction of the car's motion.

To solve the problem, we need to determine the angle at which a body (stone) must be projected from a car moving at a speed of 45 km/h so that its resultant motion is perpendicular to the direction of the car. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Convert the speed of the car from km/h to m/s**: \[ \text{Speed of car} = 45 \text{ km/h} = \frac{45 \times 1000}{3600} = 12.5 \text{ m/s} \] ...
