A helicopter flying horizontally with a speed of 360 km/h at an altitude of 2 km, drops an object at an instant. The object hits the ground at a point O, 20 s after it is dropped. Displacement of 'O' from the position of helicopter where the object was released is : (use acceleration due to gravity g = 10 m/s2 and neglect air resistance)

  1. 7.2 km
  2. 2 5 km
  3. 2 2 km
  4. 4 km

Answer

(3) 2 2 km

Solution

Horizontal velocity of the object = 360 km/h = 360 518 = 100 m/s

Horizontal displacement in 20 s: x = 100 20 = 2000 m = 2 km

Vertical displacement: y = 12gt2 = 12 10 202 = 2000 m = 2 km (equal to the altitude ✓)

displacement = x2 + y2 = 22 + 22 = 2 2 km

Answer: (3)

A river is flowing from west to east direction with speed of 9 km h-1. If a boat capable of moving at a maximum speed of 27 km h-1 in still water, crosses the river in half a minute, while moving with maximum speed at an angle of 150 to direction of river flow, then the width of the river is :

  1. 112.5 m
  2. 75 m
  3. 300 m
  4. 112.5 3 m
