A passenger in moving train tosses a coin which falls behind him. It means that
A passenger in moving train tosses a coin which falls behind him. It means that the motion of the train is
- A. Accelerated
- B. Uniform
- C. Retarded
- D. Circular motion
Step-by-step solution
When the train is moving uniformly, a coin tossed vertically will fall back into the passenger's hand relative to the train. If the coin falls behind the passenger, it means the train has moved forward relative to the coin after its release, indicating that the train's velocity increased during the coin's flight, i.e., the train is accelerating forward.
