Ram was riding in a car travelling at a speed of towards east. Shyam was standing on the sideway when the car passed him. Just before the car passed close to Shyam (when it was north-west of him), Ram threw a banana peel relative to him with velocity . Shyam accused that Ram had thrown the banana peel at him. Justify his statement.

A rat is moving down the slant of a wedge of angle of inclination with a velocity as shown in the figure. If the wedge moves towards left with a velocity , find
(a) velocity of the rat relative to ground,
(b) value of , if the rate moves vertically downward relative to an observer fixed with the ground.

A truck is moving a constant velocity of . In what direction should a stone be projected up with a velocity of , from the floor of the truck, so as to appear at right angles to the truck, for a person standing on earth?

A block slips along an incline of a wedge. Due to the reaction of the block on the wedge, it slips backwards. An observer on the wedge will see the block moving straight down the incline. Discuss how to find the absolute velocity of the block.



(a) In what direction will his boat be headed if he wants to reach a point on the other bank, directly opposite to starting point?
(b) If width of the river is , how long will it take him to cross the river with the condition in part ?
(c) In what direction should he head the boat if he wants to cross river in shortest time. Find the time taken by him to cross the river? Also find the location of the point where he lands on the other side of the river.
