If I'm traveling at 70 mph and their is a bee hovering in the vehicle is said bee flying at its usual speed or at 70mph?

equally if I was stood in the back of a lorry traveling at 56mph and was able to jump and remain un aided in mid air for 2seconds would I land in pretty much the same spot or would I suddenly cease to be traveling at 56mph and find myself at the other end of the vehicle?

Why doesn't glue stick to the inside of the bottle?

When it rains, why don't sheep shrink?

I'm curious to see people's answers and thought patterns. You never know it might make a good interview question

Bear in mind that you are sitting on a planet that is hurtling through space at roughly 67000 miles per hour, not to mention the fact that its rotating at 1000 mph (measured at the equator).

So there is no such thing as "standing still" or a "body at rest". Its all relative.

When I was a kid there was still open backed buses, jumped off lots while still moving and believe me I still have the scars to prove it. Just glad mobile phones and youtube weren't around then to watch us.

Inertia is stored energy , so unless in an open vehicle ( and the wind grabs you )
you will be un aware of your motion ( unless said lorry corners/or has to swerve )

Not fast enough thats the problem ( esp following said lorry )

Blanes / Multiverses / Quantum entanglment .. will make some good school lessons

and my reply
Bee will fly as normal , and you should land normally
(but you watch may be slightly out .. cos you are moving )
