Question

Imagine dropping an object from a tall tower. If the Earth is moving in a certain direction through space at a speed of many kilometers per second, then it will move forward a considerable distance even during the short time before the object hits the ground. This means that since the earth moves forward under the object as it fall, the object will hit the ground a considerable distance away from the drop point. Construct an argument based on momentum flow in reference frame at rest with respect to sun to explain why the object will hit the ground below the drop point even if earth does move.

Answer 1

with respect to sun earth is at rest is given

with respect to earth paert is at rest because he is the same frame

so rest frame object's speed does not change and position also does not change

so that an object falls just below the droping point

i give you a simple example when you are sittiing in a rest fame another person is observing you who is sitting in the plat form supose you drop a waste paper on to theplat form it lokks like droping just below the same point for you and a person who is sitting on the plat form
