Question

Assume that a car is moving behind a loaded truck .Both moving with the same uniform velocity. A box from the top of the truck falls .Does car hit th box before the box hit the road,if the driver neither brake nor accelerate. @No.name @SchoolKid @ganeshie8

Answer 1

No, the car does not hit the box before it hits the road. The car and the box have the velocity in the direction of the road. The car will not hit the box unless something slows the box down, such as contact with the road.
