You are a construction worker standing still on 12th Ave N in Fargo, and you watch a minivan drive past at 25 mi/hr eastward. A kid in the back throws a ball at his brother in the front seat at 19 mi/hr. How fast does the ball move, as observed by you? (Positive indicates east, negative indicates west.) ? How fast does the ball move, according to the kid who threw it? If instead the kid in the front seat throws a rock at the kid in the back seat at 19 mi/hr, how fast would you observe the rock to travel?
