Assertion: An observer is moving due east and wind appears him to blow from north. Then the actual direction of air blow must be towards south-east
Reason: `vecV_(R)=vecV_(A)-vecV_(M)` where `vecV_(R)` is the relative velocity of wind w.r.t. man. `vecV_(A)=` actual velocity of wind (w.r.t. ground) and `vecV_(M)=` velocity of man w.r.t. ground.

C

If Assertion is Trie but the Reason is False.

D

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the motion of the observer and the wind using vector addition. Let's break down the steps: ### Step 1: Understand the scenario The observer is moving due east, which we can represent as the positive x-direction. The wind appears to blow from the north, which means that the observer perceives the wind coming from the negative y-direction. ### Step 2: Define the velocities - Let the velocity of the observer (man) be represented as \( \vec{V}_M = v_M \hat{i} \), where \( v_M \) is the speed of the observer moving east. - The wind appears to blow from the north, which we can represent as \( \vec{V}_R = -v_W \hat{j} \), where \( v_W \) is the speed of the wind. ### Step 3: Use the relative velocity equation According to the problem, the relative velocity of the wind with respect to the observer is given by: \[ \vec{V}_R = \vec{V}_A - \vec{V}_M \] Where: - \( \vec{V}_R \) is the relative velocity of the wind with respect to the observer. - \( \vec{V}_A \) is the actual velocity of the wind (with respect to the ground). - \( \vec{V}_M \) is the velocity of the observer. ### Step 4: Set up the equation From the above definitions, we can rewrite the equation as: \[ -v_W \hat{j} = \vec{V}_A - v_M \hat{i} \] Rearranging gives us: \[ \vec{V}_A = v_M \hat{i} - v_W \hat{j} \] ### Step 5: Determine the actual direction of the wind The actual velocity of the wind \( \vec{V}_A \) can be represented as: \[ \vec{V}_A = v_M \hat{i} - v_W \hat{j} \] This indicates that the wind has both an eastward (positive x) and a southward (negative y) component. ### Step 6: Analyze the direction To find the actual direction of the wind, we can visualize the vector \( \vec{V}_A \): - The eastward component is \( v_M \hat{i} \). - The southward component is \( -v_W \hat{j} \). The resultant vector will point towards the southeast quadrant because it has a positive x-component and a negative y-component. ### Conclusion Thus, the actual direction of the wind must indeed be towards the southeast.

The vector difference between the absolute velocities of two bodies is called their relative velocity. The concept of relative velocity enables us to treat one body as being at rest while the other is in motion with the relative velocity. This jormalism greatly simplifies many problems. If vecv_(A) is the absolute velocity of a body A and vec_(B) that of another body B then the relative velocity of A in relation to B is vec_(AD)=vecV_(A)-vecv_(B) and vecv_(BA)=vecv_(B) - vecv_(A) . The principle follows here is that the relative velocity of two bodies remains unchaged if the same additional velocity is imparted to both the bodies. A simple way of carrying out this operation is to be represent the velocities in magnitude and direction from a common point. Then the line joining the tips of the vectors represents the relative velocity Q A train A moves to the east with velocity of 40 km/hr and a train B moves due north with velocity of 30 km/hr. The relative velocity of A w.rt. B is
