A man standing close to the platform at a railway station experiences a pulling force towards a fast moving train because of ________ .
A. Gravitational force between train and man
B. Illusion of the man
C. The centripetal force
D. Pressure difference due to fast moving air in between
Answer: Option D
Solution(By Examveda Team)
When a fast-moving train passes a man standing on the platform at rest, the air between train and person also moves with greater speed. This rapidly moving air, by Bernoulli's principle will have a lower pressure than the still air a few feet away.This Question Belongs to General Knowledge >> Physics
