He Threw a Ball Upward from a Moving Truck... WILL HE CATCH IT? - #VeritasiumContest

The ball is thrown up from the moving truck, and the thrower CATCHES the same ball! HOW???

I am a physics educator, and I enjoy making videos for my students to better understand physics phenomena. I'm hoping that this does well in the #VeritasiumContest!

This is a great example of Newton's Law of Inertia and frames of reference!

This is a very quick video to fit within the 1-minute requirement of the Veritasium Contest. I hope it helps!

When an emergency break is applied all the passengers are pushed forward, in some circumstances some people can be thrown out, unless the safety belt is tightened by individual passengers

So if you throw big ball higher will there be much higher air resistance?
As if you throw the tennis ball same height as you thrown the big ball, i am sure you could have catch that.

Thankyou ....i loved it a big thankyouuuu❤❤

Likely, I wanna explain that the ball in the case was caught after being thrown because of the constant speed and there's both the vertical and horizontal speed will work, hence there's a parabolic motion of the ball if we observe carefully
Am I right???, I don't know about it but it was in my opinion... 😅

So if the truck was accelerating, would he catch it? Thanks for your video

If there is no air resistance, and you throw the tennis ball very high, will it still keep up with the car?

Hey, do you mind If I stitch the ball throwing scene for my reels video? I'm about to make an explanation reels about inertia. Your video is very good !

so, can we say that the big ball shares the same horizontal velocity as the truck's? And if that is true, does that mean there's no acceleration on the horizontal direction? Thank you for your video and reply in advance.

But when the tennis ball hits the road it will roll forward.

So does that mean if a human jumps 2 feet on a truck it does the same?

What if you throw it 50meters up in the air ?
