What is the balls velocity when it hits the truck

Reference no: EM13528969

A ball is thrown horizontally from a cliff of height H at the very same moment a truck is passing by the base of the cliff at a constant speed Vtruck.

What is the ball's velocity (magnitude and direction) when it hits the truck, with respect to an observer resting at the base of the cliff?

What is the ball's velocity (magnitude and direction) when it hits the truck as seen by the truck driver?
