Suppose a cannon, placed on a moving cart with negligible friction in the wheel bearings, projects a cannonball straight up in the air. What is the horizontal velocity relative to the onserver? Is it the same/less/more than that of the cart? How would you describe that motion?

Figure 3.64 Five galaxies on a straight line, showing their distances and velocities relative to the Milky Way (MW) Galaxy. The distances are in millions of light years (Mly), where a light year is the distance light travels in one year. The velocities are nearly proportional to the distances. The sizes of the galaxies are greatly exaggerated; an average galaxy is about 0.1 MlY across.
