Question
A large train takes a turn but the passengers do not tilt towards any side. This is because
- Driver is smart
- Train is not moving
- Passengers are smart
- Train is taking large turning radius
Hint:
Train is taking large turning radius
The correct answer is: Train is taking large turning radius
If a large turning radius is used the rate of change of direction for the vehicle decreases i.e. the vehicle changes its direction changes slowly which decrease the effect of inertia of direction on the passengers and thus they don't tilt in any direction.
