A passenger in a moving train tosses a coin which falls behind him. This shows that the motion of the train is:
A. Uniform
B. Along a circular track
C. Retarded
D. Accelerated
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
When the coin is tossed, it moves forward with the initial velocity of the train due to inertia of motion. If the train accelerates during the time the coin is in the air, the train moves faster and travels a greater distance horizontally than the coin. Thus, the coin falls behind the passenger.
