Given : A person moving toward wall fire bullets with a rate of 5 bullets per second . Bullets are travelling with a speed of 300 m/ s and bullets received on the target is 6 bullets per second
To find : speed of the person
Solution:
Bullets are travelling at 300 m/s
Let say time taken to reach by 1st bullet = t sec
Then distance covered by bullet = 300 * t m
Bullets are fired at rate of 5 bullets per sec
=> one bullet per 0.2 sec
Hence 6th bullet has been fired after 1.2 sec
But 6th bullet reached with in a interval of 1 sec of 1st bullet fired
Hence travel time of 6th bullet = t - 1.2 + 1
= t - 0.2 sec
Distance covered by bullet in t - 0.2 sec = 300 (t - 0.2 )
= 300t - 60 m
Hence Person has covered a distance of 60 m before firing bullet
Time taken = 1.2 Sec
Speed of Person = 60 /1.2 = 50 m/s
Speed of the person is 50 m/s
