Question Number 21112 by Tinkutara last updated on 13/Sep/17
A ball is bouncing elastically with a  speed 1 m/s between walls of a railway  compartment of size 10 m in a direction  perpendicular to walls. The train is  moving at a constant velocity of 10 m/s  parallel to the direction of motion of  the ball. As seen from the ground  (a) the direction of motion of the ball  changes every 10 seconds.  (b) speed of ball changes every 10  seconds.  (c) average speed of ball over any 20  second interval is fixed.  (d) the acceleration of ball is the same  as from the train.
