Homework Statement
A train slows down with constant deceleration a. A boy in the train drops an apple.
What path does the boy observe the apple to take? Find an equation y=f(x) to describe the trajectory of the apple.
Also, if the original height of the apple was yo, calculate how far it is from the child when it hits the floor.
Homework Equations
Projectile Motion equations again?
The Attempt at a Solution
For part a, I think the answer is x=Vox T
but that is not in terms of y.
For the second part, I am not sure what to use. maybe y=-0.5 g t^2 + Vo T ?
TIA
