$A$ boat crossing a river moves with a velocity $v$ relative to still water. The river is flowing with a velocity $v/2$ with respect to the bank. The angle with respect to the flow direction with which the boat should move to minimize the drift is (in $^{\circ}$)

$A$ shell is fired at a speed of $200\ m/s$ at an angle of $37^o$ above the horizontal from the top of a tower $80\ m$ high. At the same instant,another shell is fired from a jeep travelling away from the tower at a speed of $10\ m/s$ as shown. The velocity of this shell relative to the jeep is $250\ m/s$ at an angle of $53^o$ with the horizontal. Find the time (in $sec$) taken by the two shells to come closest.

$A$ 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:

Two particles $A$ and $B$ move with constant velocities $\vec{v}_1$ and $\vec{v}_2$. At the initial moment,their position vectors are $\vec{r}_1$ and $\vec{r}_2$ respectively. The condition for particles $A$ and $B$ to collide is:
