Question
Why does a ball thrown vertically upwards in a moving train , come back to the thrower's hand ?
Advertisements
Solution
The reason is that when the ball is thrown, the ball is in motion along with the person and train. Due to the inertia of motion, during the time the ball remains in air, the person and ball move ahead by the same distance. This makes the ball fall back into the thrower's hand.

Assertion & Reasoning
- Assertion: The value of ‘g’ decreases as height and depth increase from the surface of the Earth.
- Reason: ‘g’ depends on the mass of the object and the Earth.
Two blocks of masses 8 kg and 2 kg respectively lie on a smooth horizontal surface in contact with one other. They are pushed by a horizontally applied force of 15 N. Calculate the force exerted on the 2 kg mass.
