A car covers first half of the distance between two places at a speed of 40 km//h and the second half at 60 km//h . Calculate the average speed of the car.

Two children of same height standing on either sides of a tower, looks the top of tower at an elevation of 40^circ , 55^circ . The distance between the children is 25 metres. Height of the chlidren is 1.5 metres. a) Draw a rough figure showing the givën measurements. b) Calculate the height of the tower. [sin 40^circ =0.64, sin 55^circ =0.82, cos 40^circ =0.77, cos 55^circ =0 .57, tan 40^circ =0.89, tan 55^circ =1.43]

The relative velocity of a body A with respect to a body B is the time rate at which body A changes its position with respect to body B . a)If V_A and V_B are the velocities of A and B moving in opposite directions,what is the relative velocity of A with respect to B ? b)Two trains along the same straight rails are moving with constant velocity of 60km/h and 30km/h towards each other.If at time t=0 ,the distance between them is 90km ,find the time when they collide. c)The velocity time graph of two bodies A and B make angles of 30° and 60° with the time axis,what is the ratio of their acceleration?
