As we have learnt in

 

2nd equation or Position- time equation -

s= ut +\frac{1}{2}at^{2}

s\rightarrow Displacement

u\rightarrowInitial velocity

a\rightarrowacceleration

t\rightarrow time

 

-

 

 

Relative to the person in the train, acceleration of the stone is ‘g’ downward, a (acceleration of train) backwards. 

According to him  : X=\frac{1}{2}\: at^{2},\; Y=\frac{1}{2}\: gt^{2}

\Rightarrow \frac{X}{Y}=\frac{a}{g}\Rightarrow Y=\frac{9}{a}X\Rightarrow straight\; line.
