MCQ
A person running horizontally observes that rain is falling on his head vertically with speed $10\,m/s$. He stops and observes that rain is coming at an angle $30^o$ with vertical., find the speed with which man was running
  • A
    $20\,m/s$
  • B
    $\frac{{20}}{{\sqrt 3 }}\,m/s$
  • C
    $10\sqrt 3\,m/s $
  • $\frac{{10}}{{\sqrt 3 }}\,m/s$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$\frac{{10}}{{\sqrt 3 }}\,m/s$
d
$\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{m}}=\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{r}} \sin 30^{\circ}$

$=\frac{20}{\sqrt{3}} \times \frac{1}{2}=\frac{10}{\sqrt{3}} \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$

Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$.

Assertion $A$ : When a body is projected at an angle $45^{\circ}$, it's range is maximum.

Reason $R$ : For maximum range, the value of $\sin 2 \theta$ should be equal to one.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :
