Q. A person standing on a moving truck, throws a stone vertically up relative to himself. To a person, standing on the ground, the stone appears to: (immediately after being thrown).

Motion in a Plane

Solution:

With respect to the man on ground, the stone has horizontal velocity (equal to that o f the truck) as well as vertical velocity. So, it would appear to move along a parabolic path.
