; But since even in these en-
lightened days many are found
who dispute a similar solution of
the gun and train problem, We
must deem it altogether likely
that the dispute in the stone-age
cavern was not really settled un'
til fists and clubs came TO the
aid OF the prehistoric Newton.
Now, let us look at the ques-
ton referred to at the beginning:
Kindly settle an argument which
has arisen here in our office, as
follows: A claims that IL man
were standing in the center of a
freight car or a flat car of a fast
moving train. and jumped up two
or three feet in the air, he would
not land in the same place where
he was originally standing, but a
short distance back. B claims
that he would land in the same
place where he was originally
standing.
Who is right? x, 2s Broadway.
New York.
Wider Educational Value
AS far as the motion of the
land where he STARTED to jump.
Inside a closed car there would
be no current of air to affect
him; on a flat car with no sides
or roof he might he swept a
trifle rearward by the resistance
OF the air which did not accom-
pany the train in it's motion.
A point which seems almost to
Cd fesHav n f.ar,s
in such discussions is the fact
that anything that is borne along
with q moving car shares the full
motion of the car after being
separated from it., unless some
resistance, like that of the air,
opposes. If you run from the
front to the rear end of a car
just as fast as the car travels,
you neutralize by your mhFcular
effort the forward motion hat
you shared with the car when
standing or sitting still, but with
reference to the ground under the
car, while you are thus running
you do not move at all. If you
jump straightup inside the car,
you do not oppose the forward
motion and consequently while
you are in the air you continue
to move with the car, and on
dropping down strike the same
spot from which you jumped.
l believe that frequent discus
sion in school of these simple,
always popular, questions would
have a wider educational value
than beating 50 much abstract
mathematics into unwilling and
dazed minds.
