A large rectangular box ABCD falls vertically with an acceleration a. a toy gun fixed at A and aimed towards C fired a particle P.

A

P will hit C if a = g

B

P will hit the roof BC if `a gt g`

C

P will hit the wall CD or the floor AD if `a lt g`

D

May be either (A), (B) or (C), depending on the speed of projection of P

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A, B, C
If the relative acceleration of bullet w.r.t. box is zero then its motion is straight line w.r.t. box vertical displacement will be different if `a ne g`.
