Question

While travelling in a train it appears that the trees near the track are moving whereas co-passengers appear to be stationary. Explain the reason

Answer 1

Answer:

It is due to rest and motion

Answer 2

Answer:

We along with our co-passengers are sitting in the same train that is moving with some velocity.

Explanation:

We along with our co-passengers are sitting in the same train that is moving with some velocity.

So I and my co-passenger are moving with same velocity(in same direction) i.e of train.The relative motion between me and my co-passenger is zero.

Outside, the trees seem to move in opposite direction at the same velocity as that of the train. So there is some relative motion between us sitting inside the train and the trees outside. Hence, they appear to be in motion.
