An object is thrown upward by a person on a train that moves with constant velocity.

Question

a) Describe the path of the object as seen by the person throwing it b) Describe the path of the object as seen by a stationary observer outside the train?

Answer 1

You describe it, I can critique.

Answer 2

Answer for a is that the path will be linear, meaning that the person will see it as a 'vertical" motion.. However, for b, the answer is that the observer will see the object motion as a parabolic or projectile motion...
Hope it helps.
