Vedclass · Answer

(A) According to the law of inertia,the coin and the passenger are moving with the same initial velocity as the train. When the coin is tossed,it maintains its horizontal velocity due to inertia. If the train were moving with uniform velocity,the coin would fall back into the passenger's hand. If the train were decelerating (retarded),the train would slow down while the coin continues at the higher initial velocity,causing the coin to fall in front of the passenger. Since the coin falls behind the passenger,the train must be accelerating,meaning the train's velocity increases while the coin is in the air,leaving the passenger ahead of the coin's landing position.
