The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the speed of the person with respect to the ground. We will follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the given data:** - Speed of the train (\( V_t \)) = 90 km/h - Speed of the person on the train (\( V_m \)) = 1 m/s 2. **Convert the speed of the train from km/h to m/s:** \[ V_t = 90 \text{ km/h} = \frac{90 \times 1000 \text{ m}}{3600 \text{ s}} = \frac{90000}{3600} = 25 \text{ m/s} \] 3. **Determine the speed of the person with respect to the ground:** The speed of the person with respect to the ground (\( V_{mg} \)) can be found by adding the speed of the person with respect to the train and the speed of the train: \[ V_{mg} = V_m + V_t \] Substituting the values we have: \[ V_{mg} = 1 \text{ m/s} + 25 \text{ m/s} = 26 \text{ m/s} \] 4. **Final Answer:** The speed of the person with respect to the ground is \( 26 \text{ m/s} \).
