NEET 2015 Physics Relative Velocity MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 11
A ship A is moving westwards with a speed of 10 km h⁻¹ and a ship B 100 km south of A, is moving northwards with a speed of 10 km h⁻¹. The time after which the distance between them becomes shortest, is
A
0 h
B
5 h
C
5√2 h
D
10√2 h
Correct Answer
