If you are riding in a fast moving car in what direction would you throw an object so that it will return to your hand?

Forward. When you throw an object, you'll be traveling at a high acceleration and velocity fast enough that when you throw the object you'll catch very quickly, mostly because you would throw it slower than the acceleration of the car.

If you are accelerating, the above is true--you would need to throw ahead of you at an angle for it to return to your hand. However, if the car is traveling quickly but at a constant speed, you would simply throw it straight upward, like you normally would. This is because both you and the object are already traveling at the same speed in the same direction.

If you are riding on a train that speeds past another train moving in the same direction on an adjacent track it appears that the other train is moving backward. why?
because your going forward at a faster speed its hard to explain
What kind of energy does a skate board have?
In physics, the kinetic energy of an object is the energy that the object possess, due to the fact that the object is moving. When the object/skateboard isn't moving it has no kinetic energy. However when it is given energy such as a push, it would move and keep going until it is stopped by another force, such as a wall.
How does energy transfer by waves differ from energy transfer by a moving object?
In energy Transfer by waves, the energy moves through the the medium, for example the water, but isn't carrying the water with it. In energy transfer by a moving object the energy is traveling by means of an object. So, energy transfer by waves can be pictured as a person (the energy) swimming through water (the medium) and energy transfer through an object can be pictured as a person (the energy) riding a bicycle (the object) In the first case the energy itself is moving through a medium, where in the second case the energy is using its power to move by use of an object. Hope this helps you understand!
When riding a bike past a building you are not moving relative to the?
bicycle
What is the difference between relative velocity and absolute velocity?
One pretty important difference is that relative velocity exists and absolute velocity doesn't. Velocity is always measured and described relative to something. There's no such thing as the "real speed" of a moving object. In fact, according to a scientist who's riding on the object, it's not moving at all. (Close your eyes right now and feel the earth move ?)
How do Muslims pray on a moving object?
If riding in a car, train, plane, etc., Muslims pray while sitting instead of standing.

An object floating on the surface when a wave passes?
== == == == The object is moving the speed of the water, not the speed of the wave. Example: when you are riding in a car, you are moving the the speed of the car not the speed of the bump in the road. The bumps in the water are mostly caused by wind & are like bumps in the road, but these bumps move. in an ellipse

You are not moving relative to the bicycle.
What is the direct and indirect object in the following sentence your parents promised you riding lessons at the local stable?
Here is how to find the direct object:First, find the verb. In this sentence, the verb is is "PROMISED"Then ask "promised WHAT?" The answer will be the DIRECT OBJECT of that verb.Here they promised riding lessonsThen ask "to WHOM?" The answer will be the INDIRECT OBJECT of the verb.Here the riding lessons were promised to you.So the answer is:Direct object: riding lessonsIndirect object: you
Suppose you are riding in a car and you pass a house you are not moving compared to what?
You are not moving, if you are comparing to the car.

Why when its windy and you're cycling does the wind never push you from behind?
It does. Usually, you'll be riding at about the same speed as the windspeed. If you and the wind is moving in the same direction, at the same speed, then you're not moving in relation to the wind. For you to feel the wind pushing you along, you have to be slower than the wind.

What is the ticker symbol FAS?
this tracks the financial components of the s & p 500, but moves 3 times greater than a normal average. in other words your leverage is 3:1. this can be fantastic if the index is moving in the direction in which your money is riding, but disastrous if it moves in the opposite direction of your position.
