Two particles $A$ and $B$ are moving in a horizontal plane as shown in the figure at $t = 0$. The time after which $A$ will catch $B$ is.......$s$.

$A$ man of mass $60 \,kg$ is standing on a boat of mass $140 \,kg$,which is at rest in still water. The man is initially at $20 \,m$ from the shore. He starts walking on the boat for $4 \,s$ with a constant speed of $1.5 \,m/s$ towards the shore. The final distance of the man from the shore is .......... $m$.

$A$ police van moving on a highway with a speed of $30\; km/h$ fires a bullet at a thief's car speeding away in the same direction with a speed of $192\; km/h.$ If the muzzle speed of the bullet is $150\; m/s,$ with what speed (in $m/s$) does the bullet hit the thief's car?

$A$ steamboat goes across a lake and comes back $(a)$ on a quiet day when the water is still and $(b)$ on a rough day when there is a uniform air current so as to help the journey onward and to impede the journey back. If the speed of the launch on both days was the same,in which case will it complete the journey in lesser time?

$A$ river $200 \,m$ wide is flowing at a rate of $3.0 \,m/s$. $A$ boat is sailing at a velocity of $15 \,m/s$ with respect to the water in a direction perpendicular to the river. How far from the point directly opposite to the starting point does the boat reach on the opposite bank (in $\,m$)?

Two trains, each $30 \,m$ long, are travelling in opposite directions with velocities $5 \,m/s$ and $10 \,m/s$. They will cross each other after: (in $\,s$)
