A horse runs along a circle with a speed of 20k m//h . A lantern is at the centre of the circle. A fence is along the tangent to the circle at the point at which the horse starts. Find the speed with which the shadow of the horse moves along the fence at the moment when it covers 1/8 of the circle in km/h.

On a long horizontally moving belt (Fig.), a child runs to and fro with a speed 9 km h^(-1) (with respect to the belt) between his father and mother located 50 m apart on the moving belt. The belt moves with a speed of 4 km h^(-1) . For an observer on a stationary platform outside, what is the (a) speed of the child running in the direction of motion of the belt ?. (b) speed of the child running opposite to the direction of motion of the belt ? (c ) time taken by the child in (a) and (b) ? Which of the answers alter if motion is viewed by one of the parents ?

A car is moving at a constant speed of 40 km/h along a straight road which heads towards a large vertical wall and makes a sharp 90^0 turn by the side of the wall. A fly flyingat constant speed of 100 km/h, starts from the wall towrds the car t an instant when the car is 20 km away,flies until it reaches the glasspane of the car and returns to teh wll at teh same speed. It continues to fly between the car and teh wall time the car makes the 90^0 turn. a. What is the total distance the fly has travelled during the period?b. How many trips has it made between the car and the wall?

A police jeep, approaching an orthogonal intersection from the northern direction, is chasing a speeding car that has turned and moving straight east. When the jeep is 0.6 km north of the intersection and the car is 0.8 km to the east. The police deteremine with a radar that the distance between them and the cae is increasing at 20 km/hr. If the jeep is moving at 60 km/hr at the instant of measurement, what is the speed of the car?

Two electric trains run at the same speed of 72 km h^-1 along the same track and in the same direction with a separation of 2.4 km between them. The two trains simultaneously sound brief whistles. A person is situated at a perpendicular distance of 500 m from the track and is equidistant from the two trains at the instant of the whistling. If both the whistles were at 500 Hz and the speed of sound in air is 340 m s^-1 , find the frequencies heard by the person.

A car moving at 108 km h^-1 finds another car in front of it going in the same direction at 72 km h^-1 . The first car sounds a horn that has a dominant frequency of 800 Hz. What will be the apparent frequency heard by the driver in the front car ? Speed of sound in air = 330 ms^-1
