    Study Notes

    River Crossing Problem

    • A man crosses a river flowing at a speed of 3 m/s.
    • He reaches a point directly across the river at a distance of 60 m in 15 seconds.
    • The velocity needed in still water can be calculated based on the man's travel time and river current.

    Train Speed and Repairs

    • A train travels at an initial speed of 120 km/h.
    • The speed is reduced uniformly to 30 km/h over a distance of 3 km.
    • The train runs at 30 km/h for a certain distance of 5 km.
    • Finally, it accelerates back to 120 km/h over a distance of 2 km.
    • Total time lost during the journey can be computed based on the distances and speeds involved.

    Simultaneous Projectile Collision

    • Two projectiles, A and B, are launched simultaneously.
    • They collide at the highest point of particle '1'.
    • The relationship between their velocities at this point can be expressed with simple values.

    HorizontalProjectile from Inclined Plane

    • A projectile is horizontally fired from a plane inclined at 45°.
    • The speed of the projectile is 50 m/s.
    • Given gravity (g) is 10 m/s², the range measured along the incline can be determined by applying kinematic equations.

    Particle Velocity in X-Y Plane

    • The velocity of a particle is expressed as v = 3ti^ + 4tj^.
    • To find the distance traveled by the particle over 4 seconds, integrate the velocity equation over the given time interval.

    Tension in a String

    • A tension of 60 N exists in a string between two points (1 and 2).
    • To maintain the system in a stable position, the magnitudes of horizontal forces F1 and F2 must be calculated, ensuring equilibrium.
