JEE Main Physics question
**Statement 1:** Two similar trains are moving along the equatorial line with the same speed but in opposite directions. They will exert equal pressure on the rails. **Statement 2:** In uniform circular motion, the magnitude of acceleration remains constant but its direction continuously changes.
Answer: (D)
Solution
A train moving eastward (with Earth's rotation) has a greater speed relative to the Earth's axis than one moving westward, so the two experience different net centripetal requirements and hence
