RELATIVE MOTION IN RIVER FLOW

If a man can swim relative to water with velocity v mR and water is following relative to ground with velocity v R ,

velocity of man relative to ground v m will be given by :

v mR = v m v R or v m = v mR + v R
So, if the swimming is in the direction of flow of water,
v m = v mR + v R
and if the swimming is opposite to the flow of water,
v m = v mR vR
Crossing a river :
A boat or man in a river always moves in the direction of resultant velocity of velocity of boat (or man) and velocity
of river flow.
1. Shortest Time :

The person swims perpendicular to the river flow crossing a river : consider a river having flow velocity v R and
swimmer jump into the river from a point A, from one bank of the river, in a direction perpendicular to the direction
of river current. Due to the flow velocity of river the swimmer is drifted along the river by a distance BC and the net

velocity of the swimmer will be v m along the direction AC.

2. Shortest Path :
When the person crosses the river perpendicularly (along the shortest path). It should swim up stream making

an angle with AB such that the resultant velocity v m , of man must be perpendicular to the flow of river along
AB.
If we find the components of velocity of swimmer along and perpendicular
to the flow, these are,
velocity along the river, v x = 0

and velocity perpendicular to river v y = v 2mR v R2

The net speed is given by v m = v 2mR v R2 at an angle of 90 with the river direction.

d d
velocity v y is used only to cross the river, therefore time to cross the river, t = v = 2
y v mR v R2

and velocity v x is zero, therefore, in this case the drift (x) should be zero.
x=0 or v x = v R v mR sin = 0

Hence, to cross the river perpendicular (along the shortest path) the man should swim at an angle of

v
sin 1 R upstream from the direction of river flow..

further, since sin < 1,
Swimmer can cross the river perpendicularly only when v mR > v R ie

Practically it is not possible to reach at B if the river velocity (v R) is too high.

17. On a frictionless horizontal surface, assumed to be the x y plane a small trolley A is moving along a straight
line parallel to the y axis as shown in the figure with a constant velocity of ( 3 1) m/s. At a particular instant,
when the line OA makes an angle of 45 with the x axis, a ball is thrown along the surface from the origin O.
Its velocity makes an angle with the x axis when it hits the trolley. [JEE 2002]

(a) The motion of the ball is observed from the frame of the trolley. Calculate the
angle made by the velocity of the ball with the x axis in this frame.

(b) Find the speed of the ball with respect to the surface, if = 4 /3.

18. A train is moving along a straight line with a constant acceleration a. A boy standing in the train throws a ball
forward with a speed of 10 m/s, at an angle of 60o to the horizontal. The boy has to move forward by 1.15 m
inside the train to catch the ball back at the initial height. The acceleration of the train, in m / s2 , is _______ .
