MCQ
A person running horizontally observes that rain is falling on his head vertically with speed $10\,m/s$. He stops and observes that rain is coming at an angle $30^o$ with vertical., find the speed with which man was running
  • A
    $20\,m/s$
  • B
    $\frac{{20}}{{\sqrt 3 }}\,m/s$
  • C
    $10\sqrt 3\,m/s $
  • $\frac{{10}}{{\sqrt 3 }}\,m/s$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$\frac{{10}}{{\sqrt 3 }}\,m/s$
d
$\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{m}}=\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{r}} \sin 30^{\circ}$

$=\frac{20}{\sqrt{3}} \times \frac{1}{2}=\frac{10}{\sqrt{3}} \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$

A particle starts from origin at $t=0$ with a velocity $5 \hat{i} \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$ and moves in $x-y$ plane under action of a force which produces a constant acceleration of $(3 \hat{i}+2 \hat{j}) \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^2$. If the $x$-coordinate of the particle at that instant is $84 \mathrm{~m}$, then the speed of the particle at this time is $\sqrt{\alpha} \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$. The value of $\alpha$ is___________.
