14. A baseball pitcher is warming up as he travels to a game by plane.


The plane is flying at 400 km/h relative to the ground. The pitcher
throws the ball at 150 km/h relative to the airplane. 1-What is the
ball's velocity relative to the ground, if the pitcher throws the ball to
the front of the plane? 2-What is the ball's velocity relative to the
ground it the pitcher throws the ball towards the back of the plane?
