If someone is riding in the back of a pickup truck and throws a softball straight backward, is it possible for the ball to fall

Answer:

The person on the truck would have the same speed as that of the truck. Also, before the ball is thrown, the ball would have the speed as that of the truck.

It is possible for a person standing at the side of the road to view the falling straight down.  This would be possible if the ball is thrown backwards with the same magnitude of velocity as that of truck.

To the person on the truck, the ball would appear to have forward motion with the speed of the truck.

Serga [27]

Answer:

1.The calorie was originally defined as the amount of heat required at a pressure of 1 standard atmosphere to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water 1° Celsius. Since 1925 this calorie has been defined in terms of the joule, the definition since 1948 being that one calorie is equal to approximately 4.2 joules.

2.Boiling water at 100 degrees Celsius: 540 calories are needed to turn 1 gram (at 100 degrees Celsius) of water to steam.

Rest and motion are relatives terms justify the statement​
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

rest and motion are the relative terms because they depend on the observer's frame of reference. So if two different observers are not at rest with respect to each other, then they too get different results when they observe the motion or rest of a body

When does sea breeze occur
Vladimir79 [104]
<span>Sea breeze can happen during hot summer days because of the uneven  heating rates of water and land. The land surface heats up faster than the surface of the water during the day.  At this rate, the air above the land grows warmer than the air atop the ocean. Warmer air is always lighter than cooler air. As a consequence, warm air is pushed upward causing it to rise. With this, warmer air rises over the land. As warm air rises over the land, cooler air over the ocean flows over the land surface to change or replace the rising warm air.</span>
