Question

When a rider jumps in air from the back of a running horse should he miss the horse when he descends

Answer 1

Answer:

yes

Explanation:

if the horse is running then definitely the rider kids the floor

Answer 2

When the man is riding the horse velocity of the man is equal to that of horse.

If there is no air resistance and if the horse runs at constant velocity, the man will be travelling with the same horizontal velocity as the horse when he jumps in air. Thus, they travel the same distance when the man is in the air since there is no resultant horizontal force acting on the man. As a result, he should not miss the horse when he descends.

Hope it helps.
