Dear Student,
The ball will follow a parabolic path.
When a ball is released from rest from a moving train the air force will create a sudden forward velocity and acceleration due to the moving wind force.
Gradually due to acceleration due to gravity of earth, the velocity will slow down and it will fall in a parabolic path.
its all upto your imagination.
Cheers!!
