Wrong ,the speeds relative the thrower simply add up although if you throw a ball at 30Kph towards a train receding at 50Kph no bounce occurs
"that departure is at 130 km/h relative to the train" This is incorrect
the driver sees the ball departing at 30Kph relative the train
The driver of the train sees the ball approaching at 80 km/h and then departing at 80 km/h after the ball bounces elastically off the front of the train. Because of the train's motion, however, that departure is at 130 km/h relative to the train platform; the ball has added twice the train's velocity to its own.is it right or wrong?

hat departure is at 130 km/h relative to the train platform;
