Tom is on board a bus moving with a constant velocity in the +x direction while Fred is standing on the sidewalk. When the Bus passes Fred, Tom tosses a coin and catches it on its way back. Both Fred and Tom measure the time interval for the coin toss. Which of the following observations is correct?

A. Tom will measure a longer time interval for the coin toss and observe that the coin follows a parabolic path.
B. Fred will measure a longer time interval for the coin toss and observe that the coin follows a parabolic path.
C. Fred will measure a shorter time interval for the coin toss and observe that the coin follows a straight ip and down path .
D. Tom will measure a shorter time interval for the coin toss and observe that the coin follows a parabolic path.
E. Tom and Fred will measure the same time interval for the coin toss and observe that the coin follows a parabolic path.
