Question
Problem 65GP
Two students perform an experiment with a train and a ball. Michelle tides on a flatcar pulled at 8.35 m/s by a train on a straight, horizontal track; Gary stands at rest on the ground near the tracks. When Michelle throws the ball with an initial angle of 65.0° above the horizontal, from her point of view, Gary sees the ball rise straight up and back down above a fixed point on the ground, (a) Did Michelle throw the ball toward the front of the train or toward the rear of the train? Explain, (b) What was the initial speed of Michelle’s throw? (c) What was the initial speed of the ball as seen by Gary?
Solution
Step 1 of 4
(a) Michelle has to throw the ball in the opposite direction of the train, that is she throws the ball toward the rear of the train.
The horizontal component of speed of the ball is which is zero.
