Physics Question

1) Two motorboats are traveling upstream at different speeds relative to the water. 2) When the faster boat overtakes the slower boat, a buoy is dropped from the slower boat. 3) After some time, the boats turn around simultaneously and travel downstream at their original speeds. 4) If the maximum separation between the boats after the buoy is dropped is 200m, and the river flow is 1.5m/s, the distance traveled by the buoy from when it was dropped until the boats meet it again is 300 meters.

Question

The speed of motor boat in still water


20 km/hr and river flow is 5 km/hr. A float is
dropped from the boat when it start moving
upstream. After moving 1.5 km the boat
return1s back. The boat will catch the float
(from initial instant) after

0 6 min

C, 12 min

8 10 min

G) 15 min
Solution

The correct option is B 6 min


Speed of boat in upstream = 15 km/ hr
Distance = 1.5 km
.
T 1me = t , = -1.5 = 6 min

Question

Two motor boats that can move with


velocities 4 m/s and 6 m/s relative to water
are going downstream in a river. When the
boats overtake for the 1st time a buoy(a
navigation mark) is dropped from one of the
boats. After sometime, both boats turn back
simltaneously and move upstream. If
maximum separation between boats is 200
meters after buoy is dropped and river flow
velocity is 1.5 m/s, then

Time interval after which


0 boats turn is 100 sec.

Seperation between fast boat


0 and buoy when boats turn is
600 m

Distance between p laces

the buoy is 300 m

Distance between places


G) where faster boat passes by
the buoy is 450 m
The correct option is C Distance
between places where faster boat passes
by the buoy is 300 m
Lets look at the problem with respect to
the river. This means, the speeds of the
two boats when they first meet are 4 m/ s
and 6 m/s respectively. The difference
between their velocities is
6 m/ s - 4 m/ s = 2 m/ s. The speration
between the boats when they turn is 200
m. Therefore, the time after which the
2 0
boats turn is ~ 100 s. So, option (a) is
correct.
In 100 s, the faster boat travels a
distance of 6 x 100 = 600 m.
So, option (b) is correct.
They got seperated for 100s, so it takes
again 100 s for them to meet, so they will
meet after 200s. In the mean time, the
distance travelled by the river is
1.5 X 200 : 300m.
Therefore, option (c) is correct.
Question

Statement 1 : The magnitude of velocity of


two boats relative to river is same. Both starts
simultaneously from same point on one bank
and they may reach opposite bank
simultaneously moving along different paths.
Statement 2 : For boats to cross the river in
same time.The component of their velocity
relative to river in direction normal to flow
should be same.

Statement -1 is false ,

Question

Two motorboats, which can move with


velocities 4.0 m/s and 6.0 m/ s relative to
water are going up-stream. When the faster
one overtakes the slow·er one, a buoy
(floating device) is dropped from the slower
one. After sometime both the boats turn
back simultaneously and move at the same
speeds relative to the water as before. Their
engines are switched off when they reach the
buoy again. If the maximum separation
between the boats is 200 m after the buoy is
dropped and water flow velocity is 1.5 m/ s,
find the distance( in metres) travelled by the
buoy from the dropping point till the point
where the boats meet the buoy again.
Solution

Let after time t they turn back at C and


D respectively.

d = 200 m
X = (4 - 15) t
X + 200 = (6 - 1.5) t
t = 100 S, X = 250 m
After turning, both boats take another
100 s to meet the buoy. So in total 200
sec, the distance moved by buoy = u x
200 : 1.5 X 200 : 300 m
