A person works along the line A'B' of the large 10 M wide plan moving ...
Explanation:
To solve this problem, we need to consider the motion of the person on the plank and their relative motion with respect to the ground.
Relative Motion on the Plank:
The person is moving along the line A'B' of the plank with a velocity of 2 m/s. The distance between points A and B is 10 m. Therefore, the time taken by the person to cross the plank is given by:
Time = Distance / Velocity
Time = 10 m / 2 m/s
Time = 5 s
So, statement A is correct.
Distance between Points B and C:
The person reaches point C on the ground after crossing the plank. The distance between points B and C can be determined using the Pythagorean theorem:
BC^2 = AB^2 + AC^2
BC^2 = (10 m)^2 + (10 m)^2
BC^2 = 100 m^2 + 100 m^2
BC^2 = 200 m^2
BC = √(200 m^2)
BC = 10√2 m
So, statement B is correct.
Absolute Velocity of the Person:
The absolute velocity of the person is the velocity with respect to the ground. Since the person is moving at a constant velocity of 2 m/s on the plank, and the plank itself is moving at a velocity of 2 m/s with respect to the ground, the absolute velocity of the person is the vector sum of these velocities. Using the principle of vector addition, we can determine the absolute velocity as follows:
Absolute Velocity = √(Velocity on the Plank^2 + Velocity of the Plank^2)
Absolute Velocity = √((2 m/s)^2 + (2 m/s)^2)
Absolute Velocity = √(4 m^2/s^2 + 4 m^2/s^2)
Absolute Velocity = √(8 m^2/s^2)
Absolute Velocity = 2√2 m/s
So, statement C is correct.
Therefore, all the statements A, B, and C are correct.
