Answer:
Mae will see the ball remaining still in air
Explanation:
In this problem, we have:
- Mae has just passed you, and she is travelling at a velocity of [tex]v_m = +60 km/h[/tex] in your reference system
- You throw a ball toward Mae, with a velocity of [tex]v_b = +60 km/h[/tex] in your reference system
To find the velocity of the ball in Mae's reference system, we can do
[tex]v_b' = v_b - v'[/tex]
where
v' is the velocity at which Mae's reference system is moving relative to you (which is +60 km/h). Therefore, we have
[tex]v_b' = (+60 km/h) - (+60 km/h)=0[/tex]
So, the velocity of the ball in Mae's reference system will be zero.
