STATEMENT -1 : For an observer looking out through the window of a fast moving train , the nearby objects appear to move in the opposite direction to the train , while the distant objects appear to be stationary .
STATEMENT - 2 : If the observer and the object are moving at velocities ` vec v_(1)` and `vec v_(2)` respecttively with refrence to a laboratory frame , the velocity of the object with respect to a laboratory frame , the velocity of the object with respect to the observer is `vecv_(2) - vecv(1) ` .
(a) Statement -1 is True, statement -2 is true , statement -2 is a correct explanation for statement -1
(b) Statement 1 is True , Statement -2 is True , statement -2 is NOT a correct explanation for statement -1
(c) Statement - 1 is True , Statement -2 is False
(d) Statement -1 is False, Statement -2 is True

What is the momentum of an object of mass m moving with a velocity v?

Explain this common observation clearly : If you look out of the window of a fast moving train, the nearby tress, houses etc. seem to move rapidly in a direction opposite to the train's motion, but the distant objects (hill yops, the Moon, the starts etc.) seem to be stationary. (In fact, since you are aware that you are moving, these distant objects seem to move with you).
