Question

A ball is thrown upwards in a train which is accelerating. The ball will fall ______________.

• A. ahead of the thrower
• B. behind the thrower
• C. in the hands of thrower
• D. data inadequate

Answer 1

The correct option is B behind the thrower

When train have some initial velocity and acceleration, and if ball if thrown in air it will carry only velocity of train and will behave as a freely falling body.

Now initial horizontal velocity of both the bodies is same and train have some acceleration in horizontal velocity but ball dont have any acceleration in horizontal.

So displacement of train is more in horizontal as compare to ball, so ball will land behind the thrower.

So best possible amswer is option B.
