JEE Advanced · Physics · 4. Motion in 2D

Statement 1 For an observer looking out through the window of a fast moving train, the nearby objects appear to move in the opposite direction to the train, while the distant objects appear to be stationary.
and Statement 2 If the observer and the object are moving at velocities \(\overrightarrow{\mathbf{v}}_{\mathbf{1}}\) and \(\overrightarrow{\mathbf{v}_2}\) respectively with reference to a laboratory frame, the velocity of the object with respect to the observer is \(\overrightarrow{\mathbf{v}_2}-\overrightarrow{\mathbf{v}_1}\).

  1. A Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is true, Statement 2 is a correct explanation for Statement 1.
  2. B Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is true, Statement 2 is not a correct explanation for Statement 1.
  3. C Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is false.
  4. D Statement 1 is false, Statement 2 is true
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is true, Statement 2 is not a correct explanation for Statement 1.

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation



Statement-2, is formula of relative velocity. But it does not explain statement-1 correctly. The correct explanation of statement-1 is due to visual perception of motion. The object appears to be moving faster, when its angular velocity is greater w.r.t observer.
\(\therefore\) correct answer is (b).
