Passenger of a train just drops a stone ...

Passenger of a train just drops a stone from it. The train was moving with constant velocity. What is path of the stone as observed by (a) the passenger itself, (b) a man standing on ground?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A, B, C
(a) Horizontal component of velocities of
passenger and stone are same. Therefore
relative velocity in horizontal direction is zero.
Hence the relative motion is only in vertical
direction.
(b) With respect to the man, stone has both velocity
components, horizontal and vertical. Therefore
path of the stone is a projectile.
