2 roads intersect at right angles.car a is situated at P which is 500m from the intersection O on one of the roads.car b is at Q, 400m from O on the other road.They start out at the same time and travel towards the intersection at 20m/s and 15m/s respectively.what is the minimum distance between them?(method to solve such questions)

Hello Student,

$\\$at any time from start$ \\r_A=(500-20t)i \\r_B=(400-15t)j \\=>d^2=(500-20t)^2+(400-15t)^2 \\$now differentiate is to get the minima $ \\$make sure t you got is $\leqmin({400 \over 15},{500 \over 20 })$

Thanks & Regards

The length of a massless rod is measured using vernier callipers having 10 vernier scale divisions and least count of 0.1 mm. Two masses 1.00 ± 0.01 kg and 4.00 ± 0.02 kg are attached to its ends. If reading of vernier scale is 5 divisions coinciding with 1.3 cm, what is the % error in locating centre of mass from lighter mass
