A woman starts from her home at `9.00` a. m., walks with a speed of `5 km h^(-1)` on straight road up to her office `2.5 km`away, stays at the offiec up to `5.00 p. m.`, and returnshome by anauto with a seed of `25 kmh^(-1)`. Plot the position-time graph of the woman taking home as origin.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
N//S

Time taken to reach the office `=(2.5)/(5) =(1)/(2) h =30 min`
Time taken to return home
`(2.5)/(25)=(1)/(10) h =6 mi n`

A car is moving with a constant speed of 60 km h^-1 on a straight road. Looking at the rear view mirror, the driver finds that the car following him is at a distance of 100 m and is approaching with a speed of 5 km h^-1 . In order to keep track of the car in the rear, the driver begins to glane alternatively at the rear and side mirror of his car after every 2 s till the other car overtakes. If the two cars were maintaining their speeds, which of the following statement (s) is/are correct ?
