Two boys

P

and

Q

are playing on a river bank.

P

plans to swim across the river directly and come back.

Q

plans to swim downstream by a length equal to the width of the river and then come back. Both of them bet each other, claiming that the boy succeeding in less time will win. Assuming the swimming rate of both

P

and

Q

to the same, it can be concluded that

View answer and explanation

Correct option: A

P

wins

Option A (

P

wins) is correct because the time taken by P to swim across and back is less than the time taken by Q.

Given,

\mathrm{\vec P} = \mathrm{\vec A} + \mathrm{\vec B}\,\,\mathrm{and}\,P = A + B.

The angle between

\mathrm{\vec A}\,and\,\mathrm{\vec B}

is Assertion: The necessary condition for motion in two dimensions, velocity and acceleration vectors should have any angle between

0^{\circ}

and

90^{\circ}

between them.
Reason: For two-dimensional or three-dimensional motion, velocity and acceleration of an object works in opposite direction.

\mathrm{If}\,(\mathbf{a}+3 \mathbf{b}) \cdot(7 \mathbf{a}-5 \mathbf{b})=0

and

(\mathbf{a}-4 \mathbf{b}) \cdot(7 \mathbf{a}-2 \mathbf{b})=0

. Then, the angle between

\mathbf{a}

and

\mathbf{b}

is At the top of the trajectory of a projectile, the direction of its velocity and acceleration are A ball is thrown at an angle

\theta

and another ball is thrown at an angle

\left(90^{\circ}-\theta\right)

with the horizontal direction from the same point with velocity

39.2 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}

. The second ball reaches

50 \mathrm{~m}

higher than the first ball. Find their individual heights. Take

{g}=9.8 \mathrm{~ms}^{-2}

. Assertion: The drover in a vehicle moving with a constant speed on a straight road is in a non-inertial frame of reference.

Reason: A reference frame in which Newton's laws of motion are applicable is non-inertial.
