MCQ
Two trains $A$ and $B$ are running in the same direction on parallel rails such that $A$ is faster than $B$ . Packets of equal weight are transferred between them. What will happen due to this
  • A
    $A$ will be accelerated but $B$ will be retarded
  • $B$ will be accelerated but $A$ will be retarded
  • C
    there will be no change in $A$ but $B$ will be accelerated
  • D
    there will be no change in $B$ , but $A$ will be accelerated

Answer

Correct option: B.
$B$ will be accelerated but $A$ will be retarded
b
Packet from $A$ falls with greater momentum on $B$ . Therefore, $B$ is slightly accelerated

A composition string is made up by joining two strings of different masses per unit length $\rightarrow \mu$ and $4\mu$ . The composite string is under the same tension. A transverse wave pulse $: Y = (6 mm) \,\,sin\,\,(5t + 40x),$ where $‘t’$ is in seconds and $‘x’$ in meters, is sent along the lighter string towards the joint. The joint is at $x = 0$.
