Question

A train is moving towards east and a car is along north,both with same speed.The observed direction of the car to the passenger in the train

a) South-East direction b) North-East direction c) North-West direction d) None of these

Answer 1

both the objects are moving in perpendicular

directions ...

the resultant direction of there velocity vector may

be in North East direction but ... observed direction

will be perpendicular to each other ....

Answer 2

Answer:

The answer is North-West direction

Explanation:

This is the problem from relative motion. In the relative field of motion, both the observer and object that is observed, are in motion.

But, when the observer is in motion, he cannot feel that he is moving. To him, he is at rest.

Here, according to the relative motion, the observer i.e. the train is at rest. So, the car is moving towards the West.

And, the car is itself moving towards North. Both the speeds of cars and the train are the same. So, the direction of the motion of Car is North West Direction.
