A fly traveling horizontally at a constant speed enters the open window of a train and leaves through the opposite window 3 m away 0.75 s later. If the fly travels perpendicular to the train's motion as seen from an observer on the ground, and the train is traveling at 3 m/s, determine the speed of the fly as observed by a passenger on the train.
A:
vF/T = 2.65 m/s
B:
vF/T = 5.00 m/s
C:
vF/T = 1.000 m/s
D:
vF/T = 7.00 m/s
