$A$ particle $(A)$ moves due north at $3\,km/h$ and another particle $(B)$ moves due west at $4\,km/h$. The relative velocity of $A$ with respect to $B$ is $(\tan 37^{\circ} = 3/4)$.

  • A
    $5\,km/h, 37^{\circ}$ north of east
  • B
    $5\,km/h, 37^{\circ}$ east of north
  • C
    $5\sqrt{2}\,km/h, 53^{\circ}$ east of north
  • D
    $5\sqrt{2}\,km/h, 53^{\circ}$ north of east

Two cars $A$ and $B$ are moving with speeds $v_A = 120 \text{ km/h}$ and $v_B = 50 \text{ km/h}$ respectively in the directions as indicated by the arrows in the figure below. What is the relative speed of car $B$ with respect to car $A$ (in $\text{ km/h}$)?

On a long horizontal belt,a child runs to and fro with a speed of $9\,km/h$ (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 $4\,km/h.$ For an observer on the platform,the speed of the child in the direction of motion of the belt is.........$km/h$.

Two towns $A$ and $B$ are connected by a regular bus service with a bus leaving in either direction every $T$ min. $A$ man cycling with a speed of $20 \,km/h$ from $A$ to $B$ notices that a bus travelling in the direction of his motion goes past him every $18 \,min$ and every $6 \,min$ he notices a bus travelling in the opposite direction go past him. Assuming that the buses travel with a constant speed,find $T$ and the constant speed of the buses.
