Question
Physics Question on speed and velocity
If a person sitting in a train moving with a constant velocity along a straight line, throws a ball vertically upwards then
A
ball will fall onwards the train
B
ball will return to throwers hand
C
ball will not return to throwers hand
D
none of these
Answer
ball will return to throwers hand
Explanation
Solution
When the ball is thrown upwards, then there is only the change in the vertical velocity of the ball but the horizontal velocity of the ball (equal to velocity of man) will remain same, so the ball will return to throwers hand.
