A train is moving along a track with constant speed v1 relative to the ground. A person on the train holds a ball of mass mm and throws it toward the front of the train with a speed v2 relative to the train.
a) Calculate the change in kinetic energy of the ball in the Earth frame of reference.
Express your answer in terms of the variables m, v1, and v2.
b) Calculate the change in kinetic energy of the ball in the train frame of reference.
C) How much work was done on the ball in the Earth frame of reference?
D) How much work was done on the ball in the train frame of reference?

A mini train is moving at a constant speed along a straight, horizontal track. The train consists of an engine, which is in front, and one car that is being towed by the engine by a cable. The engine and car are not touching. There is a coefficient of kinetic friction of between the engine and the track, and between the car and the track. The coefficient is the same for both; it is 0.100. The engine has a mass...

A science student is riding on a flat car of a train travelling along a straight horizontal track at a constant speed of 10 m/s. The student throws a ball into the air along a path that he judges to make an initial angle of 60° With the horizontal. The students teacher, who is standing on the ground nearby, observes the ball to rise vertically. How high does the ball rise? please answer using relative motion.... and use diagrams
