[ELI5]How do we move relative to a bus when we jump in one?

Answer 1

To add to what /u/ToxiClay correctly explained above, the only way you will move relative to the bus is if the bus accelerates or brakes while you are in the air.

Here is an absolutely fantastic demonstration of the fact that you *do not* move relative to a vehicle you jump in: [a guy on a trampoline being pulled by a truck](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zeqMsf66-mY)!
