$A$ river is flowing with a velocity of $5 \ km/hr$ as shown in the figure. $A$ boat starts from $A$ and reaches the other bank. The width of the river is $b = 300 \ m$. The velocity of the boat in still water is $v_{br} = 3 \ km/hr$. If the boat aims to reach the point directly opposite to $A$ (point $B$),but due to the river flow,it reaches point $C$,what is the distance $AC$ covered by the boat? (Note: The boat is steered such that it maintains a straight path relative to the ground).

  • A
    $500 \ m$
  • B
    $400 \sqrt{2} \ m$
  • C
    $300 \sqrt{2} \ m$
  • D
    $600 \ m$

$STATEMENT-1$ For an observer looking out through the window of a fast-moving train,the nearby objects appear to move in the opposite direction to the train,while the distant objects appear to be stationary.
$STATEMENT-2$ If the observer and the object are moving at velocities $\vec{V}_1$ and $\vec{V}_2$ respectively with reference to a laboratory frame,the velocity of the object with respect to the observer is $\vec{V}_2 - \vec{V}_1$.

$A$ 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?

On a two-lane road,car $A$ is travelling with a speed of $36 \; km/h$. Two cars $B$ and $C$ approach car $A$ in opposite directions with a speed of $54 \; km/h$ each.
