A driver is riding a car with velocity v_c between two vertical walls on a horizontal surface as shown in figure.A source of sound of frequency 'f' is situated on the car. ( v_c lt lt v , where v is the speed of sound in air ) Consider the sound wave observed by the driver directly from car has a wavelength lambda_1 and the sound wave after reflection from wall-1 observed by the driver has wavelength lambda_2 then (lambda_1-lambda_2)/(lambda_1+lambda_2) is :

You may have seen in a circus a motorcyclist driving in vertical loops inside a death well (a hollow spherical chamber with holes, so the spectators can watch from outside). Explain clearly why the motorcyclist does not drop down when he is at the uppermost point of death well with no support from below. What is the minimum speed required at the uppermost position to perform a vertical loop if the radius of the chamber is 25 m ?

Assertion: Rain is falling vertically with a certain speed. A boy holding an umbrella rides a bicycle in east to west direction and does not get wet. Reason: The boy is holding his umbrella (at some angles) with the vertical towards the west.

A 10-km long straight road connects two towns A and B , Two cyclists dimultaneously start one from town A and the other from town B .On reaching the opposite town, a cyclists simmediaeately retrns to his starting town wheras the other cyclist takes some rest and then returns to his starting town. Both of them can ride at speed 20 km h^(-1) in absence of wind but during their whole journey uniform wind from town A and B increase the speed of it decreases the speed of the cyclist going against the wind Both the cyclisrs meet twice, first at 2 km and then 6 km away from one of the tomns.
