Question

driving down the highway , you find yourself behind a heavily loaded tomato truck. you follow close behind the truck keeping the same speed. suddenly a tomato falls from the back of the struck. will the tomato hit your car or land on the road assuming you continue moving the same speed and direction.

Answer 1

Answer:

The tomato won't hit the car

Explanation:

According to the statement, the car moves at constant speed behind the truck fully loaded with tomatoes, and in the same direction. When a tomato falls from the top of the truck, it should not hit the car as the tomato falls due to the force of gravity, while horizontally has the same speed and in the same direction as the truck.  So we assume that the tomato will fall to the road without touching the car.

Have a nice day!
