The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the situation involving two trains, A and B, moving in the same direction, where train A is faster than train B. We will also consider the effect of transferring packets of equal weight from train A to train B. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Initial Conditions**: - Let the speed of train A be \( V_A \) and the speed of train B be \( V_B \). - Given that \( V_A > V_B \), train A is moving faster than train B. 2. **Momentum Consideration**: - The momentum of an object is given by the product of its mass and velocity. For train A, the momentum is \( P_A = m_A \cdot V_A \), and for train B, it is \( P_B = m_B \cdot V_B \). - When packets of equal weight are transferred from A to B, the mass of train A decreases while the mass of train B increases. 3. **Effect on Train A**: - As packets are transferred from train A to train B, the mass \( m_A \) of train A decreases. Since the velocity \( V_A \) remains the same initially, the momentum \( P_A \) of train A decreases. - According to Newton's second law, a decrease in momentum over time implies that the acceleration of train A is negative (retardation). 4. **Effect on Train B**: - Conversely, as packets are added to train B, its mass \( m_B \) increases. The velocity \( V_B \) remains the same initially, but the momentum \( P_B \) of train B increases. - An increase in momentum over time indicates that the acceleration of train B is positive (acceleration). 5. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, as packets are transferred from A to B, train A will experience a decrease in momentum leading to retardation, while train B will experience an increase in momentum leading to acceleration. - The correct option is that train B will be accelerated and train A will be retarded. ### Final Answer: **B will be accelerated and A will be retarded.** ---
