What happens when you throw a ball up while moving?

When a person throws a ball up in a moving vehicle, say, a train, the ball does come straight back to thrower as though the train were at rest. So if the train moves with a constant velocity, the ball will exactly return to the thrower.

When a person throws a stone vertically upward while sitting in a train moving with constant velocity The stone will fall?

If the bus is moving at a constant velocity, the person-stone system moves at the same velocity as well. As such, when a stone is thrown upwards, its horizontal velocity is the same for when it goes up and comes down.

What force makes the ball move?

In flight, the ball rotates about the center of gravity. Newton’s laws of motion describe the translation of the center of gravity. As the ball moves through the air, the air resists the motion of the ball and the resistance force is called drag. Drag is directed along and opposed to the flight direction.

What does the experimenter predict when she throws the ball straight up?

The experimenter is standing on a “X” in the enclosed railcar as it rolls along with velocity v, and throws just as she passes a “Y” painted on the ground outside the train. In this case she throws the ball “straight up” in her own frame. She predicts that the ball lands on the “X”, and is not disappointed.

What happens when a ball is thrown vertically in air?

A person sitting in open car moving at constant velocity throws a ball vertically upwards in air. If effect of air resistance is neglected, the ball will fall

Why does the ball fall in the hands of a car?

Since the car is moving with a constant velocity, so no pseudo force acts on the ball while it is in air. Thus the ball goes vertically upwards and the falls downwards (w.r.t. car frame) and falls exactly in the hands of the person.

Will a ball land in a train car moving with constant velocity?

If I throw a ball straight up in an enclosed train car moving with constant velocity, I believe the basic physics books say it will land in the same spot. But will it really? I think I can say that the answer is “not in the real world”. Trivially, a train car is never enclosed.
