Question
A passenger in a moving train tosses a coin which falls behind him. This shows that the motion of train is :
Options
accelerated
uniform
retarded
along circular track
Solution
accelerated
Explanation:
When the coin is tossed it was also moving with the horizontal speed of the train. The coin falls behind because the train is in an accelerated motion and no force is acting on the coin to speed up along with the train.
