JEE Main 2026 · 4 Apr · Shift 2, Physics question 27

Two cars AA and BB are moving in the same direction along a straight line with speeds 100 km/h and 80 km/h, respectively such that car AA is moving ahead of car BB. A person in car BB throws a stone with a speed vv so that it hits the car AA with a speed of 5 m/s. The value of vv is ________ km/h.

Choose one option
Answer and worked solution

Official answer: C

Relative speeds. The stone leaves B at 80+v80+v km/h (ground frame) and must hit A with relative speed 55 m/s =18=18 km/h.

Solve. 80+v−100=1880+v-100=18, so v=38v=38 km/h.

(C)
