$A$ man running at a speed of $5 \text{ km/h}$ finds that the rain falls vertically. When he stops running,he finds that the rain is falling at an angle of $60^{\circ}$ with the horizontal. The velocity of rain with respect to the running man is

  • A
    $\frac{5}{\sqrt{3}} \text{ km/h}$
  • B
    $\frac{5\sqrt{3}}{2} \text{ km/h}$
  • C
    $\frac{4\sqrt{3}}{2} \text{ km/h}$
  • D
    $5\sqrt{3} \text{ km/h}$

$A$ particle is moving along the $x$-axis with its coordinate with time '$t$' given by $x(t) = 10 + 8t - 3t^2$. Another particle is moving along the $y$-axis with its coordinate as a function of time given by $y(t) = 5 - 8t^3$. At $t = 1 \; s$,the speed of the second particle as measured in the frame of the first particle is given as $\sqrt{v}$. Then $v$ (in $m^2/s^2$) is:
