A train is moving due east and a car is moving due north with equal speeds. A passenger in the train finds that the car is moving towards

A

East-North direction

B

West-North direaction

C

South-East direction

D

None of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`upsilon_(ct)=v_(c)-v_(t)rArr v_(ct)=v_(c )+(-v_(t))`

Velocity of car w.r.t. train `(upsilon_(ct))` is towards West-North

  • A train is moving north with speed 20 m s. If it turns west with same speed

    A
    The resultant velocity makes an angle of 45° in the south of west direction.
    B
    The change in velocity will be `20sqrt(2) ms^(-1)`
    C
    The resultant velocity makes an angle of 60° in the south of west direction.
    D
    The change in velocity is `10sqrt(2) ms^(-1)`.

  • A bird is flying with a speed of 40 km/hr. in the north direction. A train is moving with a speed of 40km/hr. in the west direction. A passenger sitting in the train will see the bird moving with velocity:-

    A
    40 km/hr in NE direction
    B
    `40sqrt(2)` km/hr in NE direction
    C
    40 km/hr in. NW direction
    D
    `40 sqrt(2) km//hr` in NW direction

  • Two trains A and B are moving with same speed of 100km//hr .Train A moves towards east and train B moves towards west.An an instant when the trains are moving side by side, an aeroplane files above the trains horizontally.For the passengers in the train A , the plane appears to fly from North to South direction.For the passengers in the train B , the plane appears to fly in a direction making an angle 60^(@) to North-South direction.

    A
    The speed of the plane with respect to ground is `100sqrt(7/3)km`
    B
    The speed of the plane with respect to ground is `100sqrt3km`
    C
    The plane moves in a direction at an angle of `"tan"^(-1)sqrt3/2` to North-South direction (with respect to ground)
    D
    The plane moves in a direction at an angle of `"tan"^(-1)sqrt5/2` to North-South direction (with respect to ground)
