A train is moving slowly on a straight track with a constant speed of

2 \mathrm{~m} \mathrm{~s}^{-1}

. A passenger in that train starts walking at a steady speed of

2 \mathrm{~m} \mathrm{~s}^{-1}

to the back of the train in the opposite direction of the motion of the train. So, to an observer standing on the platform directly in front of that passenger, the velocity of the passenger appears to be

View answer and explanation

Correct option: A

0

Option A (0) is correct because the passenger's velocity relative to the platform is the train's velocity minus the passenger's walking velocity, resulting in zero.

Velocity-time curve for a body projected vertically upwards is Two cars A and B approach each other at the same speed, then what will be the velocity of A if velocity of B is

8 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}

? Two cars are moving in the same direction with a speed of

30\mathrm{km}{\mathrm{h}^{ - 1}}

. They are separated from each other by 5 km. Third car moving in the opposite direction meets the two cars after an interval of 4 min. What is the speed of the third car? A body is projected vertically up with ‘u’. Its velocity at half its maximum height is A scooter starts from rest have an acceleration of

1 \mathrm{~ms}^{-2}

150 \mathrm{~m}

behind it starts from rest with an acceleration of

2 \mathrm{~ms}^{-2}

. After how much time, the car catches up with the scooter? A motor vehicle travelled the first one third of a distance ‘S ’ at a speed of

{V_1} = 10\,kmph

, the second one third at a speed of

{V_2} = 20\,kmph

and the last one third at a speed of

{V_3} = 60\,kmph

determine the mean speed of the vehicle over the entire distance ‘S ’
