1, Relative velocity of rain
Consider a man walking East with velocity v,, represented
by OA. Let the rain be falling vertically downwards with
velocity v,, represented by OB. To find the relative
‘velocity of rain w.r.t. man (e., Vj, ) being the man at rest
by imposing a velocity -v,, on man and apply this
velocity on rain also.
Now the relative velocity of rain w.r.t. man will be the
resultant velocity of v, (= OB) and —v,, (= OA), which will
be represented by diagonal OC of rectangle OACB

Example 3.68 A boat moves relative to water with a velocity v

Sol. In this problem, one thing should be carefully noted that the
‘velocity of bost is less than the river flow velocity. Hence
boat cannot reach the point directly opposite to its. starting
point ic.,drift ean never be zero.

3. Minimum distance between
two bodies in motion
‘When two bodies are in motion, the questions like, the
minimum distance between them or the time when one body
overtakes the other can be solved easily by the principle of
relative motion. In these type of problems one body is
assumed to be at rest and the relative motion of the other
body is considered.
By assuming so two body problem is converted into one
body problem and the solution becomes easy.
Following example will illustrate the statement.
Example 3.69 Car A and car B start moving simultaneously in
Fre rone direction along the ling joining them, Car A witha
constant acceleration a = 4 ms-*, while car B moves with
constant velocity v= 1 ms~'. Attime ¢ = 0, car Ais
10 m behind car B. Find the time when car A overtakes carB,
Sol. Given, uy =0,u%y =1ms"'a,=4 ims“ and ay = 0.
‘Assuming car B to be at rest, we have

suitable incase of two body problem in one dimensional motion. Lets
see one more example in suppor of it.
