Two persons A and B are located in X-Y plane at the points (0,0) and (0,10) respectively, The distances are measured in MKS unit. At a time t = 0, they start moving simultaneously with velocities vec v_(A) = 2hatj ms^(-1) and vec v_(B) = 2hat i ms^(-1) respectively. The time after which A and B are at their closest distance is

Answer»

(a) 2.5 s
(b) 4 s
(C ) 1 s
(d) `10/(sqrt(2))s`

Solution : Let the position of A after time (t) is `(0,V_(A)t)` and position B is `(V_(B)t,10)`
Distance `d =sqrt((0 - V_(B)t)^(2) + (V_(A)t - 10)^(2))`
`RARR d =sqrt((2t^(2) + (2t - 10)^(2))`
` rArrd^(2) = 4T^(2) + 4t^(2) - 40t + 100`
`rArr d^(2) = l = 8t^(2) - 40t + 100`
`rArr dl/(dt) = 16t - 40`
`dl/(dt) = 0`
`rArr 16t - 40 = 0`
`:. t = 40/(16) = 2.5 s`
