Two particles start simultaneously from the same point and move along two straight lines,one with uniform velocity $v$ and the other with a uniform acceleration $a$. If $\alpha$ is the angle between the lines of motion of the two particles,then the time at which the relative velocity is minimum is given by:

  • A
    $(v/a) \sin \alpha$
  • B
    $(v/a) \cos \alpha$
  • C
    $(v/a) \tan \alpha$
  • D
    $(v/a) \cot \alpha$

$A$ car travelling at $15 \,m/s$ overtakes another car travelling at $10 \,m/s$. Assuming each car is $4 \,m$ long, what is the time taken during the overtake (in $\,s$)?

$A$ $120\, m$ long train $A$ is moving with a speed of $20\, m/s$. $A$ train $B$ of length $130\, m$ is moving with a speed of $30\, m/s$ in the opposite direction. Calculate the time taken by the trains to cross each other. (in $, s$)

Two trains $A$ and $B$ of length $400 \; m$ each are moving on two parallel tracks with a uniform speed of $72 \; km \; h^{-1}$ in the same direction,with $A$ ahead of $B$. The driver of $B$ decides to overtake $A$ and accelerates by $1 \; m \; s^{-2}$. If after $50 \; s$,the guard of $B$ just brushes past the driver of $A$,what was the original distance (in $m$) between them?

Two trains $A$ and $B$,initially $120\, km$ apart,start moving towards each other on the same track with a velocity of $60\, km/hr$ each. At the moment of start,train $A$ blows a whistle,which reflects off train $B$ and subsequently reflects off train $A$,and so on. If the velocity of sound waves in air is $1200\, km/hr$,what is the total distance travelled by the sound waves before the trains crash (in $km$)?
