Question

32 Ayesha is travelling in a train. As she is looking out of the window, another train on an adjacent track moving in the same direction, overtakes her train. Which of the following is TRUE?

A. To Ayesha, the other train will appear to be travelling FASTER than it actually is.

B. To Ayesha, the other train will appear
to be travelling SLOWER than it actually is.

C. To Ayesha, the other train will appear to be travelling AT THE SAME SPEED as it actually is.

D. To Ayesha, the other train will appear to be travelling in the opposite direction.​

Answer 1

The answer is B

Step-by-step explanation:

The train will appear to be moving slowly because what ayesha will be experiencing the relative velocity of the other train with her train. To find the relative velocity, if the train is moving in same direction

V(ba)= V(b)- V(a)

V(ba)= velocity of train B with respect to A

V(a) = velocity of Ayesha's train

V(b)= velocity of the other train

So relative velocity will be less than absolute velocity.
