It depends upon the direction of projection and values of ‘u’ and ‘v’. In most of the cases we consider that the body is projected vertically from the automobile. In that case, the body will fall on the automobile.

Depends on the direction at which the ball is thrown and on 'u' and 'v'. If thrown vertically from the vehicle, consider it's length

*Also consider the dimensions of the vehicle, regardless of the direction at which the ball is thrown
