Wind blows towards north with a speed of \(20~\text{m/s}.\) A plane flies in air with a velocity relative to ground of \(100~\text{m/s},\) towards east. Then, the velocity of the plane relative to air is:
1. \(100\) m/s towards east and \(20\) m/s towards north.
2. \(100\) m/s towards east and \(20\) m/s towards south.
3. \(100\) m/s towards west and \(20\) m/s towards north.
4. \(100\) m/s towards west and \(20\) m/s towards south.

Consider the two situations shown in the figures. In figure (A), the particle \(P\) is given a velocity \(u\) up a smooth horizontal incline and it reaches a maximum vertical height \(h_A\). In figure (B), the same particle \(P\) is projected with a velocity \(u\) at an angle \(\theta\) (parallel to the previous incline) and reaches a maximum height \(h_B\).
Then,
1. \(h_A=h_B~\text{sin}\theta\) 2. \(h_A~\text{sin}\theta=h_B\)
3. \(h_A~\text{sin}^2\theta=h_B\) 4. \(\dfrac{h_A}{\text{sin}^2\theta}=h_B\)

The average velocity of a projectile from the point of projection to impact is \(v_1\) while the average velocity from projection to maximum height\((H)\) is \(v_2\).
It can be concluded that:
 
1. \(v_1>v_2\)
2. \(v_1<v_2\)
3. \(v_1=v_2\)
4. Any of the above can be true depending on the angle of projection

A man, swimming with a speed \(u_1,\) can cross a river fastest in a time, \(T\). His friend, who swims with a speed \(u_2,\) reaches the opposite bank in the same time when he swims at an angle of \(30^{\circ}\) with the bank. Then:
1. \(u_1=\dfrac{\sqrt3}{2}u_2\) 2. \(u_1=\dfrac{1}{2}u_2\)
3. \(u_1=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt2}u_2\) 4. \(u_1=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt3}u_2\)

A ball is thrown up with a speed \(u\) at an angle of \(60^{\circ}\) with the horizontal; the thrower of the ball runs with a uniform speed \(v\) and stops suddenly when he reaches a certain point. He observes that the ball is at its maximum height, and then waits until it reaches him. Then
1. \(v=4u\)
2. \(v=2u\)
3. \(v=u\)
4. \(v<u\)
