Question

a man in a train moving with constant velocity drops a ball on the platform.. the path of the ball

Answer 1

The path of the ball when the train is moving with constant velocity is parabola

Answer 2

Explanation:

Because in ground frame the block of mass m is placed at platform with zero velocity, but finally it got some velocity.

That velocity must be same as the velocity of the platform because the friction force will stop acting when there is no relative motion.

Now only force doing work on the block, is friction. 

By work energy theorem, change in kinetic energy is equal to the net work done. 

Hence work done by friction is 1/2 mv^2 -0 

ANSWER:

✔️+(1/2)mv^2 b) -(1/2)mv^2
