A railway carriage moves over a straight track with acceleration a. Passenger in the carriage drops a stone. What is the acceleration of the stone w.r.t. the carriage and the earth?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to analyze the motion of the stone dropped from the railway carriage in two different frames of reference: the Earth and the carriage itself. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Acceleration of the Carriage**: The railway carriage is moving with a constant acceleration \( a \) in a horizontal direction. 2. **Identify the Acceleration of the Stone**: ...
