TUTORIAL 10
1. A man is walking due south at 5km/h. The wind is blowing from the west at
8km/h. Find the magnitude and direction of the velocity of the wind relative to
the man.
2. A shi is sailing south!east at 2"km/h and a second shi is sailing due west at
25km/h. Find the magnitude and direction of the velocity of the first shi
relative to the second.
#. A boat A travels due west at a seed of #"km/h. The velocity of a boat $
relative to A is 1%km/h due south. Find the seed of boat $ and the direction in
which it is moving.
%. A stretch of river has straight arallel banks 12"m aart. A man rowing at 5m/s
relative to the water and heading directly across the river reaches the other
bank 5%m downstream. Find the seed of the current and the direction in
which the man would have to row in order to cross the river at right angles to
the banks. .
5. A article is ro&ected from a oint on a hori'ontal ground with seed 2%.5m/s
at an angle of
30
o
to the hori'ontal. Find the time it takes to reach its greatest
height. Find also the time of flight and the range of the article.
(. A article is ro&ected from a oint ) on a hori'ontal lane with seed #5m/s
at an angle of elevation * + where tan * ,2. Find the ma-imum height above
the lane of the article and the e.uation of its tra&ectory.
/. A boy throws a ball hori'ontally from a oint %.0m above hori'ontal ground.
1etermine the minimum seed at which the ball must be thrown to clear a
fence 2.%m high at a hori'ontal distance of 8m from the oint of ro&ection.
Find also the distance beyond the fence of the oint at which the ball strikes
the ground if ro&ected at this minimum seed.
8. The hori'ontal and vertical comonents of the initial velocity of a ro&ectile are
u and #u resectively. Find in terms of u and g2
3a4 the range of the ro&ectile on the hori'ontal lane through the oint of
ro&ection.
3b4 the times at which the article is moving in a direction at
45
o
to the
hori'ontal.
