A van is standing on a frictionless portion of a horizontal road. To start the engine, the vehicle must be set in motion in theforward direction. How can the persons sitting inside the van do it without coming out and pushing from behind?

Two bodies make an elastic head on colision on a smooth horizontal table kept in a car.Do you expect a change in the result if the car is accelerated on a horizontal road because of the noninertial character of the frame? Does the equation velocityof separation = velocity of approach remain valid in n accelerating car? Does the equation final momentum =initial momentum remain valid in the accelerating car?

Two blocks of unequal masses are tied by a spring. The blocks are pulled stretching the spring slightly and the system is released on a frictionless horizontal platform. Are the forces due to the spring on the two blocks equal and opposite. If yes, is it can example of Newton's third law?

A plumb bob is hung from the ceiling of a train compartment. If the train moves with an acceleration a along a straight horizontal track, the string supporting the bob makes an angle tan^1 (a/g) with the normal to the ceiling. Suppose the train moves on an inclined straight track with uniform velocity, if the angle of incline is tan^-1(a/g) , the string again makes the same angle with the normal to the ceiling. Can a person sitting inside the compartment tell by looking at the plumb line whether the train is accelerated on a horizontal straight track or it is going on an incline? If yes, how? If no, suggest a method to do so.
