Question

If you toss a ball vertically upward in a uniformly moving train, it returns to its starting place. Will it do the same if the train is accelerating?

Answer 1

Answer:No

Step-by-step explanation:

No

As the train is accelerating so train velocity will be more as compared to the ball and thus will cover more distance as compared to the ball.

When the ball is thrown upward with some velocity, it also possesses the train velocity at the time of throwing but as time passes velocity of train increases due to acceleration of the train. This causes the ball to fall behind the point of launch.
