Q.

An armored car 2m long and 3m wide is moving at 10ms–1 when a bullet hits it in a direction making an angle θ=tan134 with the length of the car as seen by a stationary observer. The bullet enters at one edge of the car at the corner and passes out at the diagonally opposite corner. Neglecting any interaction between the car and the bullet and effect of gravity, the time for the bullet to cross the car is

Detailed Solution

Given θ=tan-1(3/4)

θ=370

Components of velocity of bullet will be vsinθ in the direction of the car and 

vcosθ perpendicular to the direction of the car.

Therefore, 

(Vb cos37o - Vc)t = 2

(Vb sin37o)t = 3

Solving will give us t = 0.2 secs
