$A$ 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 $\,m$)?

$A$ jet airplane travelling at the speed of $500 \; km \; h^{-1}$ ejects its products of combustion at the speed of $1500 \; km \; h^{-1}$ relative to the jet plane. What is the speed of the latter with respect to an observer on the ground?

When a car is at rest,its driver sees rain drops falling on it vertically. When driving the car with speed $v$,he sees that rain drops are coming at an angle $60^{\circ}$ from the horizontal. On further increasing the speed of the car to $(1+\beta)v$,this angle changes to $45^{\circ}$. The value of $\beta$ is close to...

When is the relative velocity of two moving cars greater than the individual velocity of both cars?

$A$ man standing on a road has to hold his umbrella at $30^{\circ}$ with the vertical to keep the rain away. He throws the umbrella and starts running at $10 \,km/h$. He finds that raindrops are hitting his head vertically. The actual speed of raindrops is:

Car $A$ is moving to the East with a speed of $30 \text{ km/h}$, and car $B$ is moving to the North with the same speed. What is the velocity of car $B$ as measured from car $A$?
