Analyzing +4 | -1
STATEMENT-1 : For an observer looking out through the window of a fast moving train, the nearby objects appear to move in the opposite direction to the train, while the distant objects appear to be stationary.

STATEMENT-2 : If the observer and the object are moving at velocities vβƒ—1\vec{v}_1 and vβƒ—2\vec{v}_2 respectively with reference to a laboratory frame, the velocity of the object with respect to the observer is vβƒ—2βˆ’vβƒ—1\vec{v}_2-\vec{v}_1.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
Statement 1 is True, Statement-2 is True; Statement-2 is NOT a correct explanation for Statement-1
Option B (Statement 1 is True, Statement-2 is True; Statement-2 is NOT a correct explanation for Statement-1) is correct because both statements are true, but the relative velocity formula doesn't directly explain the perceived motion of nearby and distant objects.
