Answer:

0 m/s

Explanation:

Let's take the direction in which the train is travelling as positive direction. Therefore:

- The velocity of the train with respect to earth is:

v_t = +15 m/s

- The ball is thrown with speed 15 m/s in the opposite direction, so in the frame of reference of the train, its velocity is

v_b = -15 m/s

Therefore, the velocity of the baseball in the earth's reference frame will be the algebraic sum of these two velocities, so:

v_b' = v_t + v_b = +15 + (-15) = 0

An astronaut goes to Mars to do some experiments. Explain why her mass stays the same but her weight changes.
Snowcat [4.5K]
Because mass does not change from place to place but weight does change from place to place... why? because weight is the amount of gravitational force on an object and mass is the amount of matter in an object. mars has less gravitational force so an object will weigh less than it really weighs there

The atoms in a solid move about freely
ivolga24 [154]

No, not exactly.  They jiggle and tremble and vibrate a lot, but
they always basically stay in very nearly the same place.

It's like if you're allowed to go anywhere you want in your jail cell,
you wouldn't exactly call that "moving about freely".
