Eli5: why when I’m standing on a moving train and I jump, the train doesn’t move around me?
In: Physics
Answer.
Because you are moving as fast as the train. If you were standing on the top of the train and jumped your forward motion would stop because you’d be hitting a wall of air that isn’t moving. When you’re inside the train, the air, you and the train are all moving at the same speed.
