ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

wat do u think, travelled in train before ? :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

behind?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes I have but I never threw anything in the air ahaha

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

lol

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

it falls behind for sure, if u throw it out of the window, instead of vertically UP

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

think of it like this :- you're travelling in car, ur baseball is travelling wid u in car

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

both are travelling together at same speed, before u toss the ball UP

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

so, when u toss the ball up, it has the same speed as u (in forward direction)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

so... ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh so everything will be the same, so if the direction of the train is foward the ball will more in the front?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

move*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is that right?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

yes, ball will move front, since u r also in train, u r also moving front

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

so... ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it will land in front of me?
