Q5 / 72 · NTA Abhyas (JEE Main) 2020 · Physics · Motion In Two Dimensions

Rain droplets are falling in vertically downward direction with velocity  5 m/s. A cyclist is moving in northward direction with velocity  10 m/s. The rain droplets will appear to the cyclist to be coming from

  • A
    tan-1⁡2  above south horizon
  • Correct answer
    B
    tan-1⁡12  above north horizon
  • C
    Vertically downward
  • D
    tan-1⁡2  above north horizon

Solution

Figure

tan θ= v R v M
tan⁡θ=510

θ=tan-1⁡12 above north horizon.

 

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
