Question

You are riding in an enclosed train car moving at 90 km/h.. If you throw a baseball straight up, where will the baseball land?. In front of you.. Behind you.. In your hand.. Can't decide from the given information.

Answer 1

We are given with the situation where one is inside a train moving 90 km/h and a baseball is thrown straight up while inside. In this case, the baseball will land in front of you because the person and the ball move as the speed of the train. The choice in your hand doesnt makes sense.

Answer 2

here the ball we land exactly into the hand of the person who throw it upwards.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since train is moving with uniform speed as

`v = 90 km/h`

now when we throw a ball vertically upwards with certain velocity then due to inertia the ball will automatically start moving in horizontal direction with same speed as that the speed of the train

so while ball is in air then the distance moved by the ball in horizontal direction will be same as that the distance moved by the train in horizontal direction.

So here the ball we land exactly into the hand of the person who throw it upwards.
