A person sitting in the rear end of the compartment throws a ball towards the front end. The ball follows a parabolic path. The train is moving with uniform velocity of `20ms^(-1)`. A person standing outside on the ground also observers the ball. How will the maximum heights `(h_(m))` attained and the ranges (R) seen by thrower and the outside observer compare each other?

A

Same `h_m`, differect R

B

same `h_m`, and R

C

different `h_m`, same R

D

different `h_m`, and R

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

(a) The motion of the train will affect only the horizontal component of the velocity of the ball. Since, vertical component is same for both observers, `h_m`, will be same, but but `R` will be different.
