Two towns $X$ and $Y$ are connected by a regular bus service. $A$ bus leaves in either direction at every $T$ minutes. $A$ man moving with some speed in the direction $X$ to $Y$ finds that a bus goes past him every $t_1$ minutes in the direction of his motion, and every $t_2$ minutes in the opposite direction. Then $T$ is given by

  • A
    $\frac{2 t_1 t_2}{t_1+t_2}$
  • B
    $\frac{\left(t_1-t_2\right) t_1}{t_1+t_2}$
  • C
    $\frac{2 t_2\left(t_1+t_2\right)}{\left|t_1+t_2\right|}$
  • D
    $\frac{t_1 t_2}{\left|t_1-t_2\right|}$

The maximum speed of a boat in still water is $27 \,km/h$. Now this boat is moving downstream in a river flowing at $9 \,km/h$. $A$ man in the boat throws a ball vertically upwards with a speed of $10 \,m/s$. The range of the ball as observed by an observer at rest on the river bank is . . . . . . $cm$. (Take $g = 10 \,m/s^2$)

On a long horizontally moving belt,a child runs to and fro with a speed $9 \; km \; h^{-1}$ (with respect to the belt) between his father and mother located $50 \; m$ apart on the moving belt. The belt moves with a speed of $4 \; km \; h^{-1}$. For an observer on a stationary platform outside,what is the:
$(a)$ speed of the child running in the direction of motion of the belt?
$(b)$ speed of the child running opposite to the direction of motion of the belt?
$(c)$ time taken by the child in $(a)$ and $(b)$?
Which of the answers alter if motion is viewed by one of the parents?

$A$ river is flowing due east with a speed $3\, ms^{-1}$. $A$ swimmer can swim in still water at a speed of $4\, ms^{-1}$ (figure).
$(a)$ If the swimmer starts swimming due north,what will be his resultant velocity (magnitude and direction)?
$(b)$ If he wants to start from point $A$ on the south bank and reach the opposite point $B$ on the north bank,
$(i)$ In which direction should he swim?
$(ii)$ What will be his resultant speed?
$(c)$ From the two different cases as mentioned in $(a)$ and $(b)$ above,in which case will he reach the opposite bank in a shorter time?

To a person,going eastward in a car with a velocity of $25\, km/hr$,a train appears to move towards north with a velocity of $25\sqrt{3}\, km/hr$. The actual velocity of the train will be..........$km/hr$

Two boys are standing at points $A$ and $B$ on the ground,where distance $AB = x$. The boy at $B$ starts running perpendicular to $AB$ with velocity $v_1$. The boy at $A$ starts running simultaneously with velocity $v$ and meets the other boy in time $t$. The value of $t$ is:
