Two boys are standing at points $A$ and $B$ on the ground where distance $AB = a$. The boy at point $B$ starts running perpendicular to line $AB$ with velocity $V_1$. The boy at point $A$ starts running simultaneously with velocity $V$ and catches the other boy in time $t$. The value of $t$ is

  • A
    $[\frac{a^2}{(V^2 - V_1^2)}]^{1/2}$
  • B
    $[\frac{a^2}{(V_1^2 - V^2)}]^{1/2}$
  • C
    $[\frac{a^2}{(V^2 - V_1^2)}]$
  • D
    $[\frac{a^2}{(V_1^2 - V^2)}]$

On a long horizontally moving belt,a child runs to and fro with a speed $9 \; km \; h^{-1}$ (with respect to the belt) between his father and mother located $50 \; m$ apart on the moving belt. The belt moves with a speed of $4 \; km \; h^{-1}$. For an observer on a stationary platform outside,what is the:
$(a)$ speed of the child running in the direction of motion of the belt?
$(b)$ speed of the child running opposite to the direction of motion of the belt?
$(c)$ time taken by the child in $(a)$ and $(b)$?
Which of the answers alter if motion is viewed by one of the parents?

$A$ bird is tossing (flying to and fro) between two cars moving towards each other on a straight road. One car has a speed of $54 \text{ kmh}^{-1}$ while the other has a speed of $36 \text{ kmh}^{-1}$. The bird starts moving from the first car towards the other and is moving with a speed of $36 \text{ kmh}^{-1}$ when the two cars are separated by $36 \text{ km}$. The total distance covered by the bird before the cars meet each other is: (in $\text{ m}$)
