Q. If a person sitting in a train moving with a constant velocity along a straight line, throws a ball vertically upwards, then:

Bihar CECEBihar CECE 2004

Solution:

In moving train, velocity of man is equal to velocity of train. When the ball is thrown upwards, then there is the change in vertical component of velocity but the horizontal component of velocity equal to velocity of man will remain same. Hence, the ball will return to throwers hand.
