When a car is at rest,its driver sees rain drops falling on it vertically. When driving the car with speed $v$,he sees that rain drops are coming at an angle $60^{\circ}$ from the horizontal. On further increasing the speed of the car to $(1+\beta)v$,this angle changes to $45^{\circ}$. The value of $\beta$ is close to...

$STATEMENT-1$ For an observer looking out through the window of a fast-moving train,the nearby objects appear to move in the opposite direction to the train,while the distant objects appear to be stationary.
$STATEMENT-2$ If the observer and the object are moving at velocities $\vec{V}_1$ and $\vec{V}_2$ respectively with reference to a laboratory frame,the velocity of the object with respect to the observer is $\vec{V}_2 - \vec{V}_1$.

$A$ swimmer can swim with a velocity of $12 \, km/h$ in still water. The water flowing in a river has a velocity of $6 \, km/h$. The angle with respect to the direction of flow of the river water at which the swimmer should swim in order to reach the point on the other bank just opposite to his starting point is ........$^{\circ}$. (Round off to the Nearest Integer)

$A$ thief's car is moving with a speed of $10\,m/s$. $A$ police van chasing this car with a speed of $5\,m/s$ fires a bullet at the thief's car with a muzzle velocity of $72\,km/h$. Find the speed with which the bullet will hit the car in $m/s$.

$A$ slider block $A$ moves downward at a speed of $v_A = 2 \ m/s$,at an angle of $75^\circ$ with the horizontal as shown in the figure. The velocity of the portion of belt $B$ between ideal pulleys $C$ and $D$ with respect to $A$ is $v_{CD/A} = 2 \ m/s$ at an angle $\theta$ with the horizontal. The magnitude of the velocity of portion $CD$ of the belt when $\theta = 15^\circ$ is .......... $m/s$.

The speed of a swimmer is $4\,km\,h^{-1}$ in still water. If the swimmer makes his strokes normal to the flow of a river of width $1\,km$,he reaches a point $750\,m$ downstream on the opposite bank. The speed of the river water is $.........\,km\,h^{-1}$.
