A boy throws a ball in air at $60^o$ to the horizontal, along a road with a speed of $10\,ms^{-1}$ $(36\, km/h)$. Another boy sitting in a passing by car observes the ball. Sketch the motion of the ball as observed by the boy in the car, if car has a speed of $(18\, km/h)$. Give explanation to support your diagram.

The boy throws the ball at an angle of $60^{\circ}$.
Horizontal component of velocity $=\nu \cos \theta$
$v_{x}=(10 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}) \cos 60^{\circ}=10 \times \frac{1}{2}=5 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$
Speed of the car $=18 \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{h}=5 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$
As horizontal speed of ball and car is same, hence relative velocity of car and ball in the hori zontal direction will be zero.
Only vertical motion of the ball will be seen by the boy in the car.
