  • question_answer
    A ship A sailing due east with a velocity of 10 km/h happens to appear sailing due north with a velocity of 5 km/h, to a person, sitting in a moving ship \[B\]. Determine the velocity (absolute) of ship \[B\].

    A)  \[5\sqrt{5}\,km/h,\,ta{{n}^{-1}}(1/2)\,S\,of\,E\]

    B)  \[5\sqrt{5}\,km/h,\,ta{{n}^{-1}}(1/2)\,E\,of\,S\]

    C) \[4\sqrt{5}\,km/h,\,ta{{n}^{-1}}(1/2)\,S\,of\,E\]

    D) \[4\sqrt{5}\,km/h,\,ta{{n}^{-1}}(1/2)\,E\,of\,S\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] Here we are given velocity of 'A', \[{{\vec{v}}_{A}}=10\hat{i}\] Velocity of 'A', w.r.t. 'B', \[{{\vec{v}}_{A/B}}=5j\] Now \[{{\vec{v}}_{A/B}}={{\vec{v}}_{A}}-{{\vec{v}}_{B}}\] \[5\hat{j}=10\hat{i}-{{\vec{v}}_{B}}\Rightarrow {{\vec{v}}_{B}}=10\hat{i}-5\hat{j}\] Hence velocity of B, \[{{v}_{B}}=\sqrt{{{10}^{2}}+{{5}^{2}}}=5\sqrt{5}km/h\] \[\tan \theta =\frac{5}{10}=\frac{1}{2}\] \[\theta ={{\tan }^{-1}}\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)s\]of E
