A police jeep is chasing with, velocity of 45 km / h a thief in another jeep moving with velocity 153 km / h . Police fires a bullet with muzzle velocity of 180 m / s . The velocity it will strike the car of the thief is
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
Effective speed of the bullet
= speed of bullet + speed of police jeep
\(180 \text{ m/s} + 45 \text{ km/h} \quad (180 + 12.5) \text{ m/s} \quad 192.5 \text{ m/s}\)
Speed of thief ’s jeep \(=15.3\ \mathrm{km}/\mathrm{h} = 4.25\ \mathrm{m}/\mathrm{s}\)
Velocity of bullet w.r.t thief ’s car \(=1925 \cdot 425\) =150 m/s
