A ball is bouncing elastically with a speed 1 m/s

Question:

A ball is bouncing elastically with a speed 1 m/s between walls of a railway compartment of size 10 m in a direction perpendicular to walls. The train is moving at a constant velocity of 10 m/s parallel to the direction of motion of the ball. As seen from the ground,

(a) the direction of motion of the ball changes every 10 seconds

(b) speed of ball changes every 10 seconds

(c) average speed of ball over any 20 seconds intervals is fixed

(d) the acceleration of ball is the same as from the train

Solution:

The correct option is (b) speed of ball changes every 10 seconds, (c) average speed of ball over any 20 seconds intervals is fixed and (d) the acceleration of ball is the same as from the train
