Why would you? Under the assumption there is no air resistance and the velocity of the train is constant (a=0), there's no deceleration.

If you are moving through a perfect vacuum at 120 kmph with no other forces acting on you, you will forever travel at that speed.

I mean in real life though... so there is air resistance and its not vacuum ....

That mean if i have a cannon inside the train ( without roof), i shoot a ball up.. will the ball land at exact point o.0?
