A passenger in a moving train tosses a coin which falls behind him. It means that motion of the train is

A

accelerated

B

uniform

C

retarded

D

along circular tracks

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
If the coin falls behind th passenger that means the train is accelerated. When the coin is tossed it has same velocity as that of train but during the time it is air its velocity becomes less than that of train (because the train is accelerated), so it falls behind the passenger.
