A flatbed railcar is moving at a slow but constant velocity. A man stands in the railcar, facing sideways (perpendicular) to the motion of the railcar. The man holds a baseball at arm’s length and drops it onto the railcar bed. Where does the principle of inertia predict that the ball will land: (a) directly below the drop point on the railcar, (b) slightly in front of the drop point on the railcar, or (c) slightly behind the drop point on the railcar? Explain.
