Answer» railway carriage moving without brakes between two stations so the distance between the two stations is considered to be as large as the size of the train. Due to this REASON the train is considered as a point object.(b) The monkey can be considered as a point object because the value of the distance COVERED by the circular train is much GREATER.(c) The way the ball turns is not smooth because of this reason the distance covered by the ball is not large enough in a reasonable amount of time due this the spinning of a CRICKET ball that turns sharply on hitting the GROUND cannot be considered as a point object.(d) The distance covered by a tumbling beaker that has slipped off the edge of table cannot be considered as a point object because the distance covered is very less not enough to be considered as a point object. |
