Can I take you both at your word then, when you assert that a ball thrown vertically will return to your hands regardless of the velocity of whatever you are sitting/standing on providing only that the air is also moving with whatever you are sitting/standing on? Paul D I don't think so.. Paul.. If I was in a moving vacuum chamber, no air moving, the ball would still retain the forward momentum of the train plane earth, and drop straight.. Funny things might happen if the train went round a curve though.. Why are we revisiting this stuff.. ? Looking for missing bits perhaps..

It was on a Transrapid Maglev Train in Shanghai and I was on my way back to the airport with the train going at a velocity of well over 200 miles per hour. From Neville Jones Fri Jul 20 12:15:58 2007 No need for a vacuum; just strap a Pope-mobile canopy on top of the car. The ball would follow a parabolic path, just as it does in the railway carriage, and come back down through the sunroof to be caught by our antipodean cousin.
