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 \(\overrightarrow{\mathbf{v}_2}-\overrightarrow{\mathbf{v}_1}\).
- A Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is true, Statement 2 is a correct explanation for Statement 1.
- B Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is true, Statement 2 is not a correct explanation for Statement 1.
- C Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is false.
- D Statement 1 is false, Statement 2 is true
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).

- Paragraph:
Modern trains are based on Maglev technology in which trains are magnetically leviated, which runs its EDS Maglev system.
There are coils on both sides of wheels. Due to motion of train, current induces in the coil of track which levitate it. This is in accordance with Lenz's law. If trains lower down then due to Lenz's law a repulsive force increases due to which train gets uplifted and if it goes much high then there is a net downward force disc to gravity. The advantage of Maglev train is that there is no friction between the train and the track, thereby reducing power consumption and enabling the train to attain very high speeds.
Disadvantage of Maglev train is that as it slows down the electromagnetic forces decreases and it becomes difficult to keep it leviated and as it moves forward according to Lenz law, there is an electromagnetic drag force.

JEE Advanced 2006 Hard - Consider a disc rotating in the horizontal plane with a constant angular speed \(\omega\) about its centre \(\mathrm{O}\). The disc has a shaded region on one side of the diameter and an unshaded region on the other side as shown in the figure. When the disc is in the orientation as shown, two pebbles \(P\) and \(Q\) are simultaneously projected at an angle towards \(R\). The velocity of projection is in the \(y\) - \(z\) plane and is same for both pebbles with respect to the disc. Assume that (i) they land back on the disc before the disc has completed \(1 / 8\) rotation, (ii) their range is less than half the disc radius, and (iii) \(\omega\) remains constant throughout. Then
