Statement based Questions : For the following question, choose the correct answer from the codes (a),, (c) and (d) defined as follows ; (a) Statement I is true, Statement II is true; Statement II is correct explanation for Statement I. Statement I is true, Statement I is true; Statement II is not correct explanation of Statement I (c) Statement I is true; Statement II is false. (d) Statement I is false; statement II is true.. STATEMENT- For an observer looking out through the windows of a fast moving train, the near by objects appear to move in opposite direction to the train. While distant appear to be stationary STATEMENT- If the observer and the object are moving with velocities V and V respectively with reference to a laboratory frame the velocities of the object with respect to the observer is V V oth statements are true but reason is not correct explanation of assertion. istant objects motion depends on the agle subtended at eye. It is illustrated in fig. O Relative Velocity 5
. STATEMENT The relative velocity between any two bodies moving in opposite direction is equal to the sum of the velocities of two bodies.() STATEMENT Some times relative velocity between two bodies is equal to the difference in velocities of the two bodies. When two bodies are moving in opposite direction relative velocity between then is equal to sum of the velocities of bodies (V = V (V ) =V + V ). ut if the bodies are moving in the same direction their relative velocity is equal to difference in velocities of bodies (V r = V V ). 3. STATEMENT A body, what ever its motion, is always at rest in a frame of reference which is fixed to the body itself. STATEMENT The releative velocity of a body with respect to itself is zero. (a) A body has no relative motion with respect to itself. Hence in frame of reference attached to body itself its velocity is zero.
