    The document contains 4 tutorial questions: 1) For two particles to collide, their radii vectors and velocities must be equal. 2) To find the velocity of a swimmer walking to reach a destination across a river simultaneously as another swimmer traveling directly, given the stream velocity and each swimmer's velocity in water. 3) To find the position function x(t) of a particle subject to a force F(t) = αt^3, given its initial position and speed. 4) To show that a particle moving outward along a spiral trajectory given by r = Aθ, where θ increases as θ = αt^2/2, has zero radial acceleration when θ = 1/√2 rad.

    PHY101: Introduction to Physics-1

    Monsoon, 2017

    Tutorial-3

    1. Two particles, A and B, move with constant velocities 𝑣1 and 𝑣2 . At the initial moment their
    radii vectors are equal to 𝑟1 and 𝑟2 . How must these four vectors be interrelated for the particles to
    collide?

    2. Two swimmers leave point A on one bank of the river to reach point B lying right across on the
    other bank. One of them crosses the river along the straight line AB while the other swims at right
    angles to the stream and then walks the distance that he has been carried away by the stream to get
    to point B. What was the velocity u of his walking if both swimmers reached the destination
    simultaneously? The stream velocity v0 = 2.0 km/hour and the velocity v of each swimmer with
    respect to water equals to 2.5 km per hour.

    3. A particle of mass m is subject to a force 𝐹(𝑡) = α𝑡 3 and moving along X-direction. The initial
    position and speed are 𝑥𝑜 and 𝑣0 , respectively. Find x(t).

    4. A particle moves outward along a spiral. Its trajectory is given by r = A, where A is a constant.
    increases with time according to t2/2 where is another constant. Show that the radial
    acceleration is zero when = 1/√2 rad.
