What else can I help you with?
You are seated in a train that is stopped at a station Use two different reference points to explain that the train can appear to be moving and not moving?
When looking out the window, if you focus on a distant building outside the train, it may appear that the train is not moving because the building is not changing position relative to the train. However, if you look at a nearby platform or another train beside yours, you may notice the train's movement compared to these closer reference points, making it appear that the train is indeed moving.
What are Reference points to explain that train is moving?
Observing the scenery passing by outside the train window. Feeling the sensation of acceleration or deceleration when the train starts or stops. Noticing the movement of objects inside the train in relation to oneself.
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.
When a person is sitting in a train the train is moving is the person in rest or motion?
Technically, the person is resting itself, but is in motion as long as the train is moving. ================================================== There is no 'absolute' answer. All motion is relative to the 'frame' in which it's measured. A physicist on the same train, sitting across the aisle from the person, observes the person to be at 'rest' in the physicist's frame. Another physicist, sitting in his car at a crossing, watching the train go by, observes the person to be moving past him at 50 mph. Both physicists are correct, because they're making their measurements in different 'reference frames'. By the way . . . the physicist in his car observes the physicist in the train to be moving too. At the same time, the physicist in the train is so at rest that he's preparing to take a nap. Have you ever read a book while you're in a passenger jet flying along at 400 mph ? Were you at rest or moving ? The answer is 'yes'. ============================================================== Very good point.
Why does a stationary train appear to be moving?
Because there's no such thing as "really" stationary or "really" moving. If the distance between a point on one train and a point on the other train is changing, then a person on either train says that the other train is moving, and both of them are correct. A "stationary" train only appears to be moving if the train you're on is moving relative to that one.

Anna's Death in Anna Karenina?
Anna commits suicide by jumping in front of a moving train. This is ironic because she sees the train death in the beginning of the book as a bad omen.

How can you keep your train from jumping the tracks?
The way a person can keep their train from jumping the tracks is to make sure the tracks are well maintained. This means the tracks should always be on a level and cleaned surface so that nothing gets between the rail and the train wheel.

If you are moving to the front of a moving train are you moving faster than the train relative to the earth?
Yes if the train is moving forward, you are moving at the train speed + walking speed relative to the tracks.
What happens to the sound of a train whistle as a train approaches and passes you?
This is known as the Doppler effect. As the train approaches you, the wavelength of the sound waves it emits are compressed, and therefore the whistle sounds higher. When the train is moving away, the wavelengths are extended, causing the whistle to sound lower. If the train were not moving at all, the pitch you would hear from the whistle would be somewhere between the high and low pitches you hear when the train is moving.
