A man projects a coin upwards from the gate of a uniformly moving train. The path of coin for the man will be

A

Parabolic

B

Inclined straight line

C

Vertical straight line

D

Horizontal straight line

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Because horizontal velocity is same for coin and the observer. So relative horizontal displacement will be zero and the path is straight line.
Aliter : A straight (vertical) line as both the man and the coin have same velocities.

A man A is sitting in the rear ens of a long compartment of a train running at constant horizontal velocity, tosses a coin to a person B, near the front end of the compartment. The trajectory of the coin is, as seen by B and a person C on the ground, will have:

A coin is placed on a horizontal platform, which undergoes horizontal simple harmonic motion about a mean position O. The coin does not slip on the platform. The force of friction acting on the coin is F. (i) F is always directed towards O (ii) F is directed towards O when the coin is moving away from O, and away from O when the coin moves towards O (iii) F=0 when the coin and platform come to rest momentarily at the extreme position of the harmonic motion (iv) F is maximum when the coin and platform come to rest momentarily at the extreme position of the harmonic motion
