Question
An accelerating train is passing over a high bridge. A stone is dropped from the train at an instant when its speed is $10m/ s$ and acceleration is $1m/ s^2$. Find the horizontal and vertical components of the velocity and acceleration of the stone one second after it is dropped. Take $g = 10m/ s^2​​​​​​​$.

Answer

Horizontal acceleration of the train is not carried by the stone. Horizontal velocity of the stone will remain constant, during the fall of the stone.
