In a harbour, wind is blowing at the speed of ` 72 km //h` and the flag on the mast of a boat anchored in the harbour flutters along the N-E` direction`. If the boat starts moving at a speed of ` 51 km// h` to the North, what is the direction of flag on the mast of the bat ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:

east

Direction of flag=Resultant direction of the wind velocity and the opposite of boat vlocity
`rArr vec(v)_(w)-vec(v)_(B)=72/sqrt(2)(hat(i)+hat(j))-51 hat(j)`
`=36sqrt(2) hat(i)+(36sqrt(2)-51)hat(i)=36sqrt(2)hat(i)` (EAST)

In a harbour , wind is blowing at the speed of 72 km/h and the flag on the mast of a boat anchored in the harbour flutters along the N- E direction . If the boat starts moving at a speed of 51 km/h to the north , what is the direction of the flag on the mast of the boat?

When you are standstill holding a flag, the flag flutters in the direction of wind. When you start running the direction of fluttering of the flag changes to the direction of the wind relative to you. In all case a flag flutters in the direction of the wind relative to the flag. Winds is blowing uniformly due north everywhere with velocity 12 m/s. A car mounted with a flag starts running towards cast. after 9s from starts the flag flutters in 53^(@) north of west and after 16 s from the start the flag flutters in 37^(@) north of west. (a) Find velocity of the car 9 s after it starts. (b) Find velocity of the car 16 s after it starts. (c) If the car maintains uniform acceleration, find acceleration of the car.

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.

Two trains start from the same place. A person travel in a train whose speed is 50 km/h and it go to south direction. Another person travel in another train whose speed is 60 km/h and it go to west direction. After two hours, find the rate of distance between them.

A bird is tossing (flying to and fro) between two cars moving towards each other on a straight road. One car has a speed of 18 km/h while the other has the speed of 27 km/h. The bird starts moving from first car towards the other and is moving with the speed of 36 km/h and when the two cars were separated by 36 km. What is the total distance covered by the bird?

A cyclist is riding with a speed of 27 km /h . As he approaches a circular turn on the road of radius 80 m , he applies brakes and reduces his speed at the constant rate of 0.50m//s every second . What is the magnitude and direction of the net acceleration of the cyclist on the circular turn ?

Two towns A and B are connected by a regular bus service with a bus leaving in either direction every T minutes. A man cycling with a speed of 20 km h^(-1) in the direction A to B notices that a bus goes past him every 18 min in the direction of his motion, and every 6 min in the opposite direction. What is the period T of the bus service and with what speed (assumed constant) do the buses ply on the road ?
