Vedclass · Answer

(B) When the boy drops the apple,it possesses the same horizontal velocity as the train at that instant due to inertia of motion.Since the train is just about to stop,it is undergoing retardation (deceleration).As the apple falls,its horizontal velocity remains constant (neglecting air resistance),while the train's velocity decreases due to the retardation.Consequently,the apple covers more horizontal distance than the brother sitting in the train during the time of its fall.Therefore,the apple will fall slightly away from the hand of his brother in the direction of motion of the train.

$A$ boy sitting on the topmost berth in the compartment of a train which is just going to stop at a railway station,drops an apple aiming at the open hand of his brother sitting vertically below his hands at a distance of about $2 \ m$. The apple will fall:
