Scenario: you're in a car driving forward at a speed of 30 mph. A fly is on your rear window and takes flight toward the front of the vehicle, traveling at 10 mph and lands on the windshield.
Question: did the fly travel only 10 mph? Or did it travel 40 mph (the flys speed + the cars speed) or, did it travel 30 mph? Please explain why with your answers. Thanks in advance!
When a fly flies toward the front of a car moving at 30 mph, it does not travel at the same speed as the car. Instead, the fly travels at a speed relative to the air inside the car, which is moving at the same speed as the car.
The fly's speed is determined by the air molecules surrounding it, not the car's speed.
Therefore, the fly's speed is effectively the same as the car's speed, which is 30 mph.
This means the fly can move freely inside the car without being affected by the car's motion.
In summary, the fly's speed is 30 mph while the car is moving forward. -

relativity, lol you do know that the people who made up that crap gave you the answer already. its call theory of relativity. like all lies the government cia mk altra tells you. it always starts with one word. theory. -

And judging by your comment i can further theorize that you struggled in language arts, spelling, reading, and writting. You also have very poor comprehension skills because nothing about the word theory answers my question or even begins to explain it... at all. Life thus far mast have been tremendously difficult for you, and i admire your resistance and skepticism for what its worth. Its not often individuals at your level stir my curiosity but i have to admit, you most definitely have and so i must ask... Did any others in your litter
survive? Or just you?
