Assertion: Separation between two bodies moving in the same direction on the ground with same acceleration, will not increase. Reason: In this case river flow helps to cross the river.

A boat can be rowed at 5 m/s on still water. It is used to cross a 200m wide river from the south bank to the north bank. The river current has uniform velocity of 3 m/s due east. (a) In which direction must it be steered to cross the river perpendicular to current ? (b) How long will it take to cross the river in a direction perpendicular to the river flow ? (c) In which direction must the boat be steered to cross the river in minimum time ? How far will it drift ?

STATEMENT-1: A man can cross river of width d in minimum time t . On increasing river velocity, minimum time to cross the river by man will remain unchanged. STATEMENT-2: Velocity of river is perpendicular to width of river. So time to cross the river is independent of velcoity of river.

A man crosses a river in a boat. If he cross the river in minimum time he takes 10 min with a drift 120 m. If he crosses the river taking shortest path, he takes 12.5 min, find (a) width of the river (b) velocity of the boat with respect to water (c) speed of the current

Boat moves with velocity 5 m/s on still water. It is steered perpendicular to the river current. (a) Will it reach point B or somewhere else on the other bank ? (b) How long will it take to cross the river? (c) How far down stream, will it reach the other bank ? (d) Does it take minimum time in this way ?

A man can swim with a speed of 4.0 km/h in still water . How long does he take to cross a river 1.0 km wide if the river flows steadily at 3.0 km/h and he makes his strokes normal to the river current ? How far down the river does he go when he reaches the other bank ?

An observer on ground sees a boat cross a river of width 800 m perpendicular to its stream in 200 seconds. He also finds a man on a raft floating at speed of 3 m/s with river. The distance travelled by boat as seen by man on the raft in crossing the river is -

A man can swim at the rate of 5 kmh^(-1) in still water A. One km wide river flows at the rate of 3 kmh^(-1) . The man wishes to swim across the river directly opposite to the starting point. How much time will be take to cross the river

A boat has to cross a river. It crosses the river by making an angle of 60^(@) with the bank of the river due to the stream of the river and travels a distance of 600m to reach the another side of the river. What is the width of the river?

A man wishes to swim across a river 0.5km. wide if he can swim at the rate of 2 km/h. in still water and the river flows at the rate of 1km/h. The angle (w.r.t. the flow of the river) along which he should swin so as to reach a point exactly oppposite his starting point, should be:-
