The figure shows two ships moving in the $x-y$ plane with velocities $V_A$ and $V_B$. The ships move such that $B$ always remains north of $A$. The ratio $\frac{V_A}{V_B}$ is equal to ........

When is the relative velocity of two cars moving with unequal velocities less than the individual velocity of either car?

$A$ glass windscreen,whose inclination with the vertical can be changed,is mounted on a car. The car moves horizontally with a speed of $2\,m/s$. At what angle $\alpha$ with the vertical should the windscreen be placed so that the rain drops falling vertically downwards with velocity $6\,m/s$ strike the windscreen perpendicularly?

$A$ man standing on a road has to hold his umbrella at $30^{\circ}$ with the vertical to keep the rain away. He throws the umbrella and starts running at $10 \,km/h$. He finds that raindrops are hitting his head vertically. The actual speed of raindrops is:

$A$ man walking briskly in rain with speed $v$ must slant his umbrella forward making an angle $\theta$ with the vertical. $A$ student derives the following relation between $\theta$ and $v: \tan \theta = v$ and checks that the relation has a correct limit: as $v \rightarrow 0, \theta \rightarrow 0,$ as expected. (We are assuming there is no strong wind and that the rain falls vertically for a stationary man). Do you think this relation can be correct? If not,guess the correct relation.

The width of the river is $1 \; km$. The velocity of the boat is $5 \; km/hr$. The boat covers the width of the river along the shortest possible path in $15 \; min$. The velocity of the river stream is:
