Statement I For an observer looking out through the window of a that moving train the nearby objects appear to move in the opposite direction to the train, while the distant objects appear to b stationary
Statement II: the observer and the object are moving at velocities `barV_(1)` and `barV_(2)` respectively with reference to a laboratory frame, the velocity of the object with respect to the observer is `barV_(2)-barV_(1)` .

Options

A. Statement I and II are true and Statement II is a correct explanation for Statement I
B. Statement I and II are trure and Statement II is not a correct explanation for Statement I
C. Statement I is true , Statement II is false
D. Statement I is false Statement II is true

Answer

B

Explanation

For a moving observer the nearby objects appear to move in the opposite direction at a large spee This is because the angular speed of the nearby object with respect to observer is large. As the obje moves away the angular velocity decreases and therefore its speed seems to be less. The distant obje almost remains stationary. Statement 2 is the concept of relative velocity which states that `barV_(21)=barV_(20)`
where G is the laboratory frame
