Relative motion in 2 dimension
Question

A car 2 m wide is parked along the edge of a road. At the instant, the car is started, a boy standing 6 m ahead of the car begins to cross the road with constant speed vs. If the acceleration of the car 1.5 ms-2 and if it continues to move along the edge, then the minimum value of v0=(n)12ms1 for which boy can avoid collide. The value of n is ____

Difficult
Solution

 Here, t=dv0sinθ=2v0sinθ

 and 6+v0tcosθ=12at2 6+v0tcosθ=1.52t2 6+v0cosθ2v0sinθ=1.522v0sinθ2 6+2cotθ=36+2cotθ v02sin2θ=36+2cotθ v02=3(6+2cotθ)sin2θ

For minimum value of v02,

y=(6+2cotθ)sin2θ should be maximum. 

     dydθ=12sinθcosθ+2cos2θ    6sin2θ+2cos2θ=0 Or      tan2θ=26=13     v0min2=36sin2θ+sin2θ

Putting the value of θ,v0min2=8v0min=8ms1

 n=8
