A train is moving slowly on a straightly track with a constant speed of `2 ms^(-1)` . A passenger in the train starts walking at a steady speed of `2 ms^(-1)` to the back of the train in the opposite direction of the motion of the train . So, to an observer standing on the platform directly in the front of that passenger appears to be

A

`4ms^(-1)`

B

`2ms^(-1)`

C

`2ms^(-1)` in the opposite direction of the train

D

zero

Text Solution

Verified by Experts
