$A$ steamboat goes across a lake and comes back $(a)$ on a quiet day when the water is still and $(b)$ on a rough day when there is a uniform air current so as to help the journey onward and to impede the journey back. If the speed of the launch on both days was the same,in which case will it complete the journey in lesser time?

When a train is at rest,rain drops fall vertically. When it moves along east with a velocity equal to that of rain,the rain will appear to fall,for a passenger in the train

$STATEMENT-1$ For an observer looking out through the window of a fast-moving train,the nearby objects appear to move in the opposite direction to the train,while the distant objects appear to be stationary.
$STATEMENT-2$ If the observer and the object are moving at velocities $\vec{V}_1$ and $\vec{V}_2$ respectively with reference to a laboratory frame,the velocity of the object with respect to the observer is $\vec{V}_2 - \vec{V}_1$.

Two towns $A$ and $B$ are connected by a regular bus service with a bus leaving in either direction every $T$ minutes. $A$ man cycling with a speed of $20 \; km/h$ in the direction $A$ to $B$ notices that a bus goes past him every $18 \; min$ in the direction of his motion,and every $6 \; min$ in the opposite direction. What is the period $T$ (in $min$) of the bus service and with what speed (assumed constant) do the buses ply on the road?

An aeroplane is to go along a straight line from $A$ to $B$,and back again. The relative speed with respect to wind is $V$. The wind blows perpendicular to the line $AB$ with speed $v$. The distance between $A$ and $B$ is $\ell$. The total time for the round trip is:

An observer moves with a constant speed along the line joining two stationary objects. He will observe that the two objects
