(a) The railway carriage moving without jerks between two stations, so the distancebetween two stations is considered to be large as compared to the size of the train. Therefore the train is considered as a point object.(b) The monkey may be considered as point object because value of distance covered ona circular track is much greater.(c) As turning of ball is not smooth, thus the distance covered by ball is not large in the reasonable time. Therefore ball cannot be considered as point object.(d) Again a tumbling beaker slipped off the edge of a table cannot be considered as a point object because distance covered is not much larger. read less

The mivinm objects in option (A) and (B) i.e. the railway carriage and the monkey could be considered as point objects while solving a problem as their size is much smaller as compared to the distances they are traveling to/in. Whereas in later two options, the size of the mivinm objects are significant...

The mivinm objects in option (A) and (B) i.e. the railway carriage and the monkey could be considered as point objects while solving a problem as their size is much smaller as compared to the distances they are traveling to/in. Whereas in later two options, the size of the mivinm objects are significant as compared to the distances they are traveling in. So, the ball and the beaker can't be considered as point objects in the given particular situations. read less

Why is only the speed of light constant in all frames of reference?

The only thing that affects the speed of light is the refractive index of the medium through which it moves, and for space, this number is 1.000000 and gives you the maximum possible speed of light.

What should be the fees for class XI and xii physics per class in Bhubaneswar?

According to me, the best fee will be the changed study pattern of the students from rote to conceptual and being able for themselves to choose what they actually want to do after 12th ( not necessarily engineering or MBBS). Thanks.
