A boy travelling in an open car moving on a levelled road with constant speed tosses a ball vetically up in the air and catches it back. Shetch the motion of the ball as observed by a boy stanceing on the footpath. Give explanation to support your diagram.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The path of the ball observed by a boy standing on the footpath is parabolic. The horizontal speed of the ball is same as that of the car, therefore, ball as well car travells equal horizontal distance. Due to its vertical speed, the ball follows a parabolic path.

A base ball player has a nightmare. He is accidentally locked in a railroad boxcar. Fortunately, he has his ball and bat along. To start the car moving, he stands at one end bats the ball towards the other end. The impulse exerted by the ball as it hits the end wall, gives the car a forward motion. Sice the ball always rebounds and rolls along the floor back to him, the player repeats this process over and over. Eventually the car attains a very high speed, and the player is killed as the boxcar collides with another car sitting at rest on the track. Analyze this dream and the physics concepts involved in it.
