I tried this:
Explanation:
In the first case the only thing I can think of is that the train is accelerating so that the coin leaves your hand with a certain velocity (that remains fixed) BUT the train (and you sitting in it) accelerates changing its speed during the time the coin is flying so that after a certain time the train moved further than the coin.
In the second case I can think of a block and spring system on a table. The block is displaced from the equilibriom position so that a resoring force (from the spring) tends to move it back to the equilibrium point. When the block is released it will move accelerating and increasing its velocity. Have a look at the picture:
Hope it is not confusing.
