A ball is bouncing elastically with a speed `1 m//s` between walls of a railway compartment of size `10 m` in a direction perpendicular to walls. The train is moving at a constant velocity of `10 m//s` parallel to the direction of motion of the ball. As seen from the ground, choose the correct option

A

The direction of motion of the ball changes every 10.

B

Speed of ball changes every 10

C

Average speed of ball over any 20 interval is fixed.

D

The acceleration of ball is the same as from the train

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B, C, D
In this problem, we have to keep in mind the frame of the observer. Here we must be clear that we are considering the motion from the ground. Compare to velocity of trains `(10 m//s)` speed of ball is less `(1 m//s)`.
The speed of the ball before collision will side of train is `10 + 1 = 11 m//s`
Speed after collision with side of train `= 10 - 1 = 9 m//s`
As speed is changing after travelling 10 m and speed is `1 m//s` hence, time duration of the changing speed is 10.
Since, the collision of the perfectly elastic there is no dissipation of energy hence, total momentum and kinetic energy are conserved.
Since, the train is moving with constant velocity hence, it will act as inertial frame of reference as that of Earth and acceleration will be same in both frames.
We should not confuse with non-inertial and inertial frame of reference. A frame of reference that is not accelerating will be inertial.
