Maya is on a skateboard and has an initial velocity of (-1.82 \(m/s\)) \(\hat{\imath}\) relative to Santiago who is at rest with respect to the earth. Just as they are gliding past Santiago, Maya throws a ball in the positive \(x\)-direction from a height of 2.27 m. According to Maya, the ball has an initial velocity of (4.82 \(m/s\)) \(\hat{\imath}\).
