On a calm day with no wind, Farah drops her hat from the top of a stationary open double-decker bus. Raj is sitting on the lower deck, directly beneath where Farah dropped the hat. Where will the hat land considering there is no wind to move it laterally? Provide a very short response.
The hat will land on the lower deck of the bus, close to Raj's position. Since the bus is stationary and there is no wind to impart horizontal motion to the hat, gravity will act on the hat, pulling it straight down. Farah and Raj are aligned vertically with respect to each other, so the hat will follow a vertical path from Farah's hand to the lower deck.
