MCQ
A person sitting in a moving train with his face towards the engine, throws a coin vertically upwards. The coin falls ahead of person. The train:
  • A
    Comes to rest after coin is just thrown
  • Retardation is present
  • C
    Acceleration is present
  • D
    Constant velocity is present

Answer

Correct option: B.
Retardation is present
b
Speed of man slows down & hence he travel less distance than coin in same time.
