A police van moving on a highway with a speed of 30 km/ h fires a bullet at a thief’s car speeding away in the same direction with a speed of 192 km/ h. If the muzzle speed of the bullet is 150 m s–1, at what speed does the bullet hit the thief’s car? (Note: Obtain that speed which is relevant for damaging the thief’s car).
Train and train are running on parallel tracks in opposite directions with speeds of and , respectively. A person is walking in train in the direction opposite to its motion with a speed of . Speed (in ) of this person as observed from train will be close to:
- √13 km/hr
- √7 km/hr
- √109 km/hr
- 13 km/hr
distance = 120 km displacement = 0 km
- distance = 60 km displacement = 0 km
distance = 60 km displacement = -30 km
distance = 60 km displacement = 30 km
Two parallel rail tracks run north-south. Train A moves north with a speed of 54 km/h and train B moves south with a speed of 90 km/hr. What is the velocity of a monkey running on the roof of the train A against its motion (with its velocity of 18 km/h with respect to the train A) as observed by a man standing on the ground?
36 km/hr - North
36 km/hr - South
72 km/hr - North
