Question

A train is moving along a straight line with a constant acceleration. A boy standing inside the train throws a ball in forward direction with a speed of 10 m/s at an angle of 60 to the horizontal, with respect to himself. The boy has to move forward by 1.15 m inside the train to catch the ball (at the initial height). Then,
[Take g=10 m/s2]

A
Acceleration of train is 5 m/s2

Solution

The correct options are
A Acceleration of train is 5 m/s2
B Acceleration of ball is 10 m/s2
u=10 m/s
Angle of projection, θ=60
Distance covered by boy to catch the ball at the same height is, d=1.15 m
Acceleration of train is a and starts from rest when ball is thrown.


Since the only force acting on the ball is mg downwards, so its motion will be that of a projectile with u=10 m/s. Acceleration of ball will be g=10 m/s2 downwards.
Horizontal range R=u2sin2θg
=102sin12010=100×(32)10=53 m
Time of flight of ball, T=2usinθg=2×10×sin6010
T=3 s
During time interval T, displacement of train S=uT+12aT2
S=12a×3
[ train starts from rest when ball is thrown]
Boy needs to move by 1.15 m w.r.t train, to catch the ball:
32a+1.15=Range of ball
3a2+1.15=53
a=(531.15)×235 m/s2
So, Displacement of train
S=3a27.5 m
Option A and B are correct.
