MCQ
Two trolley $A$ and $B$ are moving with accelerations $a$ and $2a$ respectively in the same direction. To an observer in trolley $A$ , the magnitude of pseudo force acting on a block of mass $m$ on the trolley $B$ is
  • A
    zero
  • $ma$
  • C
    $2\ ma$
  • D
    None

Answer

Correct option: B.
$ma$
b
Pseudo $force$ = $(m)$ (mass of object) $×$ $(-a)$ (acceleration of fram)
