Q1. Two friends started running from point A to B. 1ST FRIEND HAVE speed of 10/3 m/s & 2nd friend have
speed of 5/2 m/s If the distance between A & B is 18 km.

a. Which will reach faster and by how much time.

b. How much lead in distance the faster person gave to slower one when it reaches point B.

Q2. Two cars started from same point with delay of 10 s. One car have speed of 10m/s and another 15m/s. If
the slower car starts 10s earlier to faster car. Answer the following question

a. How far the slower car travelled in km before the faster car starts moving.
b. After how much distance from start point the faster car overtakes the slower car.

Q3. Sound travels with 340 m/s. If a person hears echo of his own voice in hilly region after 6 seconds.

a. Find the distance of hill from the person.

b. A submarine uses this same mechanism to measure distance of enemy ship, called SONAR (Sound
Navigation and Ranging). But sound travels with 1.5km/s in water. If echo of sound is heard by system
by bouncing of sound from enemy ship that is 450 m away. How much time will the system take to
receive echo signal.
c. If your submarine is in between 2 enemy submarines. To the left the enemy ship is 4 km & to right the
enemy ship is 6 km. If same SONAR mechanism is used to find the distance of enemy ship & sound
signal is fired at same time in both left & right direction. How much difference in time will the echo be
heard from Left & Right of submarine.
d. The torpedo travels with half of speed of sound in water. How much time will it take for torpedo from
Left to hit your ship? Also find the time for torpedo from Right?
