JEE Advanced · Physics · 4. Motion in 2D

Airplanes A and B are flying with constant velocity in the same vertical plane at angles 30o and 60o with respect to the horizontal respectively as shown in the figure. The speed of A is 1003ms-1 . At time t = 0 s, an observer in A finds B at a distance of 500 m. This observer sees B moving with a constant velocity perpendicular to the line of motion of A. If at t=t0 , A just escapes being hit by B, t0 in seconds is

  1. A 1
  2. B 2
  3. C 5
  4. D 10
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 5

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The relative velocity of B with respect to A is perpendicular to line of motion of A.

VBcos30o=VA
VB=200 m/s
And time t0=RelativedistanceRelativevelocity
=500VBsin30o=5sec
