Statement 1 For an observer looking out through the window of a fast moving train, the nearby objects appear to move in the opposite direction to the train, while the distant objects appear to be stationary.
and Statement 2 If the observer and the object are moving at velocities and respectively with reference to a laboratory frame, the velocity of the object with respect to the observer is .
Options
- AStatement 1 is true, Statement 2 is true, Statement 2 is a correct explanation for Statement 1.
- BStatement 1 is true, Statement 2 is true, Statement 2 is not a correct explanation for Statement 1.
- CStatement 1 is true, Statement 2 is false.
- DStatement 1 is false, Statement 2 is true
Correct answer
B. Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is true, Statement 2 is not a correct explanation for Statement 1.
Step-by-step solution
Statement-2, is formula of relative velocity. But it does not explain statement-1 correctly. The correct explanation of statement-1 is due to visual perception of motion. The object appears to be moving faster, when its angular velocity is greater w.r.t observer. correct answer is (b).
