1.(JEE Main 2023 (Online) 31st January Morning Shift )

The speed of a swimmer is 4   km   h 1 in still water. If the swimmer makes his strokes normal to the flow of river of width 1   km , he reaches a point 750   m down the stream on the opposite bank.

The speed of the river water is ___________ km   h 1

Correct answer is (3)

JEE Main 2023 (Online) 31st January Morning Shift Physics - Motion Question 28 English Explanation

Time to cross the River width ω = 1000   m is = 1   km 4   km / h

Drift x = Vm / g × t

Where Vm / g is velocity of River w.r. to ground.

x = Vm / g × 1 4 = 750   m = 3 4   km Vm / g = 3   km / hr

2. (JEE Main 2022 (Online) 27th June Morning Shift )

A girl standing on road holds her umbrella at 45 with the vertical to keep the rain away. If she starts running without umbrella with a speed of 15 2 kmh 1, the rain drops hit her head vertically. The speed of rain drops with respect to the moving girl is :

A. 30 kmh 1

B. 25 2 kmh 1

C. 30 2 kmh 1

D. 25 kmh 1

Correct Option is (C)

JEE Main 2022 (Online) 27th June Morning Shift Physics - Motion Question 62 English Explanation

From graph,

v R G = 15 2 tan 45

= 15 2

= 30 2

   

3.(JEE Main 2021 (Online) 27th July Evening Shift )

A swimmer wants to cross a river from point A to point B. Line AB makes an angle of 30 with the flow of river. Magnitude of velocity of the swimmer is same as that of the river. The angle θ with the line AB should be _________ , so that the swimmer reaches point B.

JEE Main 2021 (Online) 27th July Evening Shift Physics - Motion Question 77 English

Correct answer is (30)

JEE Main 2021 (Online) 27th July Evening Shift Physics - Motion Question 77 English Explanation
Both velocity vectors are of same magnitude therefore resultant would pass exactly midway through them

θ = 30

4.(JEE Main 2021 (Online) 18th March Morning Shift )

A person is swimming with a speed of 10 m/s at an angle of 120 with the flow and reaches to a point directly opposite on the other side of the river. The speed of the flow is 'x' m/s. The value of 'x' to the nearest integer is __________.

Correct answer is (5)

JEE Main 2021 (Online) 18th March Morning Shift Physics - Motion Question 87 English Explanation
V R = 10 sin 30

V R = 10 2 = 5 m/s

VR = 5 m/s

5.(JEE Main 2021 (Online) 16th March Evening Shift )

A swimmer can swim with velocity of 12 km/h in still water. Water flowing in a river has velocity 6 km/h. The direction with respect to the direction of flow of river water he should swim in order to reach the point on the other bank just opposite to his starting point is ____________ . (Round off to the Nearest Integer) (Find the angle in degrees)

Correct answer is (120)

The situation is depicted in the following figure.

JEE Main 2021 (Online) 16th March Evening Shift Physics - Motion Question 92 English Explanation

where, VMR = velocity of man = 12 km/h

and vR = velocity of water flow in river = 6 km/h

As, vMR should be along CD.

v R v M R sin θ = 0

6 12 sin θ = 0 sin θ = 6 12

sin θ = 1 2

θ = sin 1 ( 1 2 ) = sin 1 ( sin 30 ) [ sin 30 = 1 2 ]

θ = 30

α = 90 + θ = 90 + 30 = 120

α = 120
