MCQ
Airplanes $A$ and $B$ are flying with constant velocity in the same vertical plane at angles $30^{\circ}$ and $60^{\circ}$ with respect to the horizontal respectively as shown in figure . The speed of $A$ is $100 \sqrt{3} ms ^{-1}$. At time $t=0$, an observer in A finds $B$ at a distance of $500 \ m$. This observer sees $B$ moving with a constant velocity perpendicular to the line of motion of $A$. If at $t = t _0$, $A$ just escapes being hit by $B , t _0$ in seconds is:
  • $5$
  • B
    $6$
  • C
    $7$
  • D
    $8$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$5$
a
For relative motion perpendicular to line of motion of $A$ $A$

$V_A=100 \sqrt{3}=V_B \operatorname{Cos} 30^{\circ} $

$\Rightarrow \quad V_B=100 m / s $

$t_0=\frac{50}{V_B \sin 30^{\circ}}=\frac{500}{200 \times \frac{1}{2}}=5 sec \text { Ans. }$

A resonance tube is old and has jagged end. It is still used in the laboratory to determine velocity of sound in air.

The experiment is repeated with another fork of frequency $256\,Hz$ which produces first resonance when water reaches a mark $27\,cm$ below the reference mark.
