Kinematics 3 Question 8

8. Airplanes A and B are flying with constant velocity in the same vertical plane at angles 30 and 60 with respect to the horizontal respectively as shown in figure. The speed of A is 1003ms1. At time t=0s, an observer in A finds B at a distance of 500m. This observer sees B moving with a constant velocity perpendicular to the line of motion of A. If at t=t0,A just escapes being hit by B,t0 in seconds is

Answer:

Correct Answer: 8. (5)

Solution:

  1. Relative velocity of B with respect to A is perpendicular to line PA. Therefore, along line PA, velocity components of A and B should be same.
