Question

A ball is thrown from rear end of the compartment of train to the front end which is moving at a constant horizontal velocity. An observer A sitting in compartment and another observer B standing on the ground draw the trajectory. They will have
  1. equal horizontal and equal vertical ranges.
  2. equal vertical ranges but different horizontal ranges.
  3. different vertical ranges but equal horizontal ranges.
  4. different vertical ranges and different horizontal ranges.

A
equal vertical ranges but different horizontal ranges.
B
different vertical ranges but equal horizontal ranges.
C
equal horizontal and equal vertical ranges.
D
different vertical ranges and different horizontal ranges.
Solution
Verified by Toppr

In vertical direction, ball has zero initial velocity but same value of g w.r.t observer A & B,so they will draw trajectory of equal vertical range
But along horizontal direction, for observer A, ball is moving with velocity at which it is thrown w.r.t. train while for B, it is moving with a velocity equal to train + velocity at which it is thrown w.r.t groundtrain

Q2
A person sitting at the rear end of the compartment throws a ball towards the front end. The ball follows a parabolic path. The train is moving with uniform velocity of 20 ms1. A person standing outside on the ground also observes the ball. How will the maximum height (hm) attained and the ranges (R) seen by the thrower and the outside observer compare each other?
