Figure shows four paths for a kicked football. Ignoring the effects of air on the flight, rank the paths according to initial horizontal velocity component, highest first

(1) 1, 2, 3, 4

(2) 2, 3, 4, 1

(3) 3, 4, 1, 2

(4) 4, 3, 2, 1

A man standing on a road holds his umbrella at 30° with the vertical to keep the rain away. He throws the umbrella and starts running at 10 km/hr. He finds that raindrops are hitting his head vertically, the speed of raindrops with respect to the road will be:

1. 10 km/hr

2. 20 km/hr

3. 30 km/hr

4. 40 km/hr

A river is flowing from east to west at a speed of \(5\) m/min. A man on south bank of river, capable of swimming \(10\) m/min in still water, wants to swim across the river in shortest time. He should swim:

A thief is running away on a straight road in a jeep moving with a speed of 9 m/s. A police man chases him on a motor cycle moving at a speed of 10 m/s. If the instantaneous separation of jeep from the motor cycle is 100 m, how long will it take for the policemen to catch the thief

1. 1 second

2. 19 second

3. 90 second

4. 100 second

A man sitting in a bus travelling in a direction from west to east with a speed of \(40\) km/h observes that the rain-drops are falling vertically downwards. To another man standing on ground the rain will appear: 

A boat takes two hours to travel 8 km and back in still water. If the velocity of water is 4 km/h, the time taken for going upstream 8 km and coming back is 

1. 2h

2. 2h 40 min

3. 1h 20 min

4. Cannot be estimated with the information given

A 120 m long train is moving towards west with a speed of 10 m/s. A bird flying towards east with a speed of 5 m/s crosses the train. The time taken by the bird to cross the train will be 

1. 16 sec

2. 12 sec

3. 10 sec

4. 8 sec

A boat crosses a river with a velocity of 8 km/h. If the resulting velocity of boat is 10 km/h, then the velocity of river water is 

1. 4 km/h

2. 6 km/h

3. 8 km/h

4. 10 km/h

A vector \(\vec{a}\) is turned without a change in its length through a small angle \(d\theta\). The values of \(\left | \Delta \vec{a} \right |\) and \(\Delta a\) are respectively:
1. $\mathrm{}$\(0,\)  \(ad\theta\)
2. \(ad\theta,\) \(0\)
3. \(0,\) \(0\)
4. none of these

A steam boat goes across a lake and comes back (a) On a quiet day when the water is still and (b) On a rough day when there is a uniform air current so as to help the journey onward and to impede the journey back. If the speed of the launch on both the days was the same, in which case will the steam boat complete the journey in lesser time:
