From a motorboat moving downstream with a velocity 2 m//s with respect to river, a stone is thrown. The stone falls on an ordinary boat at the instant when the motorboat collides with the ordinary boat. The velocity of the ordinary boat with repsect to the river is equal to zero. The river flow velocity is given to be 1 m//s . The initial velocity vector of the stone with respect to earth is :-

A boat is moving with a velocity 3 hat i+ 4hat j with respect to ground. The water in the river is moving with a velocity -3 hat i - 4 hat j with respect to ground. The relative velocity of the boat with respect to water is.

A swimmer starts to swim from point a to cross a river. He wants to reach point B on the opposite side of the river. The line AB makes an angle 60^(@) with the river flow as hown. The velocity of the swimmer in still water is same as that of the water (i) In what direction should he try to direct his velocity ? Calculate angle between his velocity anf river velocity. (ii) Find the ratio of the time taken to cross the river in this situation to the minimum time in which he can cross this river.

A swimmer starts to swim from point a to cross a river. He wants to reach point B on the opposite side of the river. The line AB makes an angle 60^(@) with the river flow as shown.
