Two particles A and B are projected from the same point in different direction in such a manner that their velocity vectors are shown in the diagram :- .

A train approaching a hill at a speed of 40 km//hr sounds a whistle of frequency 580 Hz when it is at a distance of 1km from a hill. A wind with a speed of 40km//hr is blowing in the direction of motion of the train Find (i) the frequency of the whistle as heard by an observer on the hill, (ii) the distance from the hill at which the echo from the hill is heard by the driver and its frequency. (Velocity of sound in air = 1, 200 km//hr )

Two tuning forks A and B lying on opposite sides of observer 'O' and of natural frequency 80 Hz move with velocity 10 m//s relative to stationary observer O . Fork A moves away from the observer while the fork B moves towards him. A wind with a speed 10 m//s is blowing in the direction of motion of fork A . Find the beat frequency measured by the observer in Hz. [Take speed of sound in air as 340 m//s ].

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 boatman moves his boat with a velocity 'v' (relative to water) in river and finds to his surprise that velocity of river 'u' (with respect to ground) is more than 'v'. He has to reach a point directly opposite to the starting point on another bank by travelling minimum possible distance. Then

A boat is travelling in a driver in river with a speed 10 m//s along the stream flowing with a speed 2m//s . From this, boat, a sounjd transmitter is lowered into the river through a right support. The wavelength of the sound emitted from the transmitter inside the water is 14.45 mm . Assume that attention of sound in water and air is negligible. (a) What will be frequency detected by receiver kept inside downstream? (b) The transmitter and the receiver are now pulled up into air. The air is blowing with a speed 5 m//s in the direction opposite the river stream. Determine the frequency of the sound detected by the receiver. (Temperature of the air and water = 20^(@)C , Density of river water = 10^(3) kg//m^(3) . Bulk modulus of the water = 2.088 xx 10^(6) Pa , Gas constant R = 8.31 J//mol-K , Mean molecular mass of air = 28.8 xx 10^(-3) kg//mol , C_(P)//C_(V) for air = 1.4 ).

A river of width 'd' with straight parallel banks flows due North with speed u. A boat, whose speed is v relative to water, starts from A and crosses the river. If the boat is steered due West and u varies with y as u=(y(d-y)v)/d^(2) then answer the following questions. Absolute velocity of boat when it reaches the opposite bank is

Two small balls having the same mass and charge and located on the same vertical at heights h_(1) and h_(2) are thrown in the same direction along the horizontal at the same velocity v. The first ball touches the ground at a horizontal distance R from the initial vertical position. At what height h_(2) will the second ball be at this instant? Neglect any frictional resistance of air and the effect of any induced charge on the ground.

By the term velocity of rain, we mean velocity with which raindrops fall relative to the ground. In absence of wind, raindrops fall vertically and in presence of wind raindrops fall obliqucly. Moreover raindrops acquire a constant terminal velocity due air resistance very quickly as they fall toward the carth. A moving man relative to himself observes an altered velocity of raindrops. Which is known as velocity of rain relative to the man. It is given by the following equation. vec(v)_(rm)=vec(v)_(r)-vec(v)_(m) A standstill man relative to himself observes rain falling with velocity, which is equal to velocity of the raindrops relative to the ground. To protect himself a man should his umbrella against velocity of raindrops relative to himself as shown in the following figure. When you are standstill in rain, you have to hold umbrella vertically to protect yourself. (a) When you walk with velocity 90 cm/s, you have to hold your umbrella at 53^(@) above the horizontal. What is velocity of the raindrops relative to the ground and relative to you ? (b) If you walk with speed 160 cm/s, how should you hold your umbrella ?
