Mark off and measure the distance of the throw. Time the throw with the stopwatch. This will give you the feet per second. If you want miles per hour take that and multiply by 0.68

Relative to the thrower, the ball appears to be moving at 5 km/h.


If a person in a train moving at high speeds threw a ball straight into the air would the ball continue at the same speed as the thrower or would it travel a different speed?

Assuming the train continues moving at constant speed, the ball would travel at the same speed as the thrower.


Does playing fastball with a tennis ball makes you a better hitter in baseball?

Hitting can be broken down into three segments; SEE, REACT, SWING. You watch the ball in the pitcher's hand during the windup and you watch the ball leave the pitcher's hand when it is thrown and you watch the spin of the ball as it comes towards the plate. That is SEE. You determine what the pitch is (fastball, curveball, etc.), you determine where the ball is going to go and you determine whether it is headed towards an area that you think you can get good wood on it. That is REACT. You swing if you like the pitch or don't swing if you don't like the pitch. That is SWING. It doesn't make any difference whether you are playing with a tennis ball or a golf ball or a baseball. The theory and mechanics are the same. So, to answer your question I would say the more you practice the better you will be, regardless of the type of ball you use to practice with.
