If a boy sitting in a train, which is moving at a constant velocity, throws a ball straight up into the air, the ball will
-
- fall in front of him
- fall behind him
- fall into his hand
- None of the above
- fall in front of him
Correct Option: C
If a person throws a ball vertically upwards in a moving train, it comes back to his hand. The moment the ball was thrown, the ball was also in motion alone with the person who had thrown the ball and the train. This is due to inertia of motion. So when the ball remains in the air, both the person and the ball move ahead by the same distance. This makes the ball to come back to his hand on its return.
