If you see a clock on a very fast train moving by you, you would observe that the clock appears to be moving faster than normal due to the train's speed. This is because of the relative motion between you and the train.

When a fast moving train passes a person at rest the person feels sucked by the train wirewhy?

The sensation of being sucked towards a fast-moving train is due to the change in air pressure created as the train passes by. The speed of the train causes a sudden decrease in air pressure around the person, leading to a perceived force pulling them towards the train.


How does the narrator plan to discover the cause of the clock discrepancy?

The narrator plans to observe the clock to see if it consistently runs slow or fast compared to another reliable source of time, such as a phone or computer. By monitoring the clock over a period of time, the narrator can determine if there is a pattern to the discrepancy and identify possible causes.


Describe your motion as seen from a reference point on the train then describe it from a reference point on the ground?

If you are *not* dealing with special relativity and its effects, then the answer becomes far more simple. If you are not moving and are standing on the ground, then you see a train moving past you a fast speed. In this case, the reference "frame" (not necessarily a point) is you and the object being described is the train. If you flipped the roles, then it would be someone on the train watching you as the train moves. However, since it is from the train's perspective, it does not appear that the train is moving, but rather that you are moving away from the train, along with the rest of the world that passes the train by. This is described as the train being the reference frame and you would be the object described by the train. This is, again, just Galilean relativity. Special relativity puts a few twists on it and has some additional effects.


Explain why a fast moving freight train cannot be stopped quickly?

A fast moving freight train carries a lot of momentum due to its large mass and high velocity. Stopping it quickly would require overcoming this momentum, which would need a significant amount of force applied over a longer distance. Additionally, the braking systems on trains are designed to gradually slow down the train to prevent damage to the cargo, tracks, and passengers.


When train goes very fast when you drop a pen why it travels straight and not corss?

If the train is travelling at a constant speed the pen is also travelling at a constant speed and will drop straight down but if the train accelerates or brakes after the pen is dropped it will not drop straight down. This is because it has it's own inertia, it still drops straight but everything else has changed their inertia so it just looks as if the pen is different.

Are train tracks metal?

Yes. Train tracks are metal because if they were wooden such fast moving train wheels will cause friction on the wooden tracks, setting them on fire.

Can a fast moving train suck people off the platform by forming an area of low pressure?

No, a fast-moving train cannot suck people off the platform by forming an area of low pressure. Trains displace air as they move, but they do not create a vacuum or low-pressure zone strong enough to pull people towards them. The force of air resistance and the distance between the platform and the train are too large for this to occur.


Why couldn't you tell if a train was moving at 60 miles per hour but you could tell you were moving when you were walking through the train at only 2 miles per hour?

Any movement must be specified - and measured - in relation to something. If you are inside a closed train, you see the walls of the train, and can measure or estimate your movement compared to the train, or the train's movement compared to your own position. But - assuming you don't see the outside - you don't know how fast the Earth is moving backwards with respect to the train (or the train with respect to Earth).
