$A$ man standing on a road holds his umbrella at $30^\circ$ with the vertical to keep the rain away. He throws the umbrella and starts running at $10 \ km/hr$. He finds that raindrops are hitting his head vertically. The speed of raindrops with respect to the road will be ......... $km/hr$.

$A$ stationary man observes that the rain is falling vertically downward. When he starts running with a velocity of $12 \ km/h$,he observes that the rain is falling at an angle of $60^{\circ}$ with the vertical. The actual velocity of the rain is:

$A$ 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:

$A$ girl riding a bicycle with a speed of $5 \, m/s$ towards the north direction observes rain falling vertically down. If she increases her speed to $10 \, m/s$,the rain appears to meet her at $45^o$ to the vertical. What is the speed of the rain? In what direction does the rain fall as observed by a ground-based observer?

$A$ river is flowing from $W$ to $E$ with a speed of $5 \, m/min$. $A$ man can swim in still water with a velocity of $10 \, m/min$. In which direction should the man swim to take the shortest possible path to reach the opposite bank (South)?
