$A$ boy is running on a plane road with velocity $v$ with a long hollow tube in his hand. The water is falling vertically downwards with velocity $u$. At what angle to the vertical,he must incline the tube so that the water drops enter it without touching its sides?

Explain this common observation clearly: If you look out of the window of a fast-moving train,the nearby trees,houses,etc.,seem to move rapidly in a direction opposite to the train's motion,but the distant objects (hilltops,the Moon,the stars,etc.) seem to be stationary. (In fact,since you are aware that you are moving,these distant objects seem to move with you).

$A$ bird is tossing (flying to and fro) between two cars moving towards each other on a straight road. One car has a speed of $54 \text{ kmh}^{-1}$ while the other has a speed of $36 \text{ kmh}^{-1}$. The bird starts moving from the first car towards the other and is moving with a speed of $36 \text{ kmh}^{-1}$ when the two cars are separated by $36 \text{ km}$. The total distance covered by the bird before the cars meet each other is: (in $\text{ m}$)

$A$ river has a steady speed of $v$. $A$ man swims upstream for a distance of $d$ and swims back to the starting point in a total time $t$. The man can swim at a speed of $2v$ in still water. If the time taken by the man in still water is $t_0$ to complete the same total distance of $2d$,then $\frac{t}{t_0}$ is

Two parallel rail tracks run north-south. Train $A$ moves north with a speed of $54\; km\; h^{-1},$ and train $B$ moves south with a speed of $90\; km\; h^{-1}.$ What is the velocity (in $m\; s^{-1}$) of a monkey running on the roof of the train $A$ against its motion (with a velocity of $18\; km\; h^{-1}$ with respect to the train $A$) as observed by a man standing on the ground?

$A$ swimmer swims in still water at a speed of $5 \text{ km/hr}$. He enters a $200 \text{ m}$ wide river,having a river flow speed of $4 \text{ km/hr}$,at point $A$ and proceeds to swim at an angle of $127^{\circ}$ $(\sin 37^{\circ} = 0.6)$ with the river flow direction. Another point $B$ is located directly across $A$ on the other side. The swimmer lands on the other bank at a point $C$,from which he walks the distance $CB$ with a speed of $3 \text{ km/hr}$. The total time in which he reaches from $A$ to $B$ is .......... $\text{minutes}$.
