Kinematics Question 652

Question: A boat B is moving upstream with velocity 3 m/s with respect to ground. An observer standing on boat observes that a swimmer S it’s crossing the river perpendicular to the direction of motion of boat. If river flow velocity is 4 m/s and swimmer crosses the river of width 100 m in 50 sec, then

Options:

A) velocity of swimmer w.r.t ground it’s $ \surd 13m\text{/}s $

B) drift of swimmer along river is zero

C) drift of swimmer along river will be 50 m

D) velocity of swimmer w.r.t ground it’s 2 m/s

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

[a] $ \vec{v} _{SB}=v\hat{j}=\vec{v} _{s}+3\hat{i} $

$ {\vec{v} _{S}}=v\hat{j}-3\hat{i}\text{ and }v=\frac{100}{50}=2m/s $

$ \therefore |{{\vec{v}} _{s}}|\text{ =}\sqrt{{v^{2}}+{{( 3 )}^{2}}}=\sqrt{2^{2}+9}=\sqrt{13}\text{ m/s} $

$ \text{Drift = 50}\times \text{3=150 m} $
