You are riding your bike and steadily pulling your little brother

Plus
in his red wagon while someone standing still watches you and
your little brother go by. He has a ball, and he throws the ball forward at a
velocity of 2.5 m/s relative to his body while you are pulling the wagon at a
velocity of 4.5 m/s. At what speed does the person who is standing nearby see
the ball go by?
