Remember, momentum is affected by mass.  The fly's mass makes it easier to dissipate the inertia.  So it seems that the fly could crash into the front, but not likely. Of course, most people are worrying about other things at the time, so no specific measurements have been taken!  The air inside has mass also, so in effect the car and the air mass have become one unit, in which the fly is also a small part.  When it stops, it helps everything else stop.

The fly floats in the air. The air in a moving car more are less travel with the same speed. The fly floating in air inside car does not hit on the sides of the car. While travelling in open lorry, if you throw a ball vertically in the air, the ball reaches your hand again, even the lorry moves. This is because, the ball also got the momentum to travel along the lorry while it is in the air. The will work out for certain heights only.

Well, the air around it isn't moving, quite like it is outside.  So it is able to move around in this air far more capably.  Also, it does get affected by the enertia, but it's so good at flying that it is able to compensate for the difference.  Now if you were to take out all the glass and replace it with mesh you would definately see a difference with the fly.  It wouldn't be able to fight against the current of air around it, and would be forced to the back of the bus, the same would be true for your face.:P

YES!  It's perfectly possible to _build_ such a car.  If the magnet is just attracting the car, it would pull forward on the car, and the car would pull back on the magnet.  Nothing moves.  If the magnet is attracted to an object ahead, the rig would move forward but would stop when the magnet got there.

I would think if the ticket was issued to him, it would be his problem.  But if your car was in an accident, then it would be your insurance that would have to pay. That's why you need to be so careful who you let drive your car.

Pick it and fling it on passing cars.  When you get really good you will be able to fling it inside an open window.  :)

You and fly are in the moving car, so both of you are at rest relative to each other. So when the fly goes from back seat to front or from front to back, it is faster than you, bacause both of you were at rest within the car.\n\nFor example, we all are in the moving earth, so all our speed is relative to earth, we do not take into consideration the earth's speed. I hope I am able to make it clear.

he got hit by a car..

Don't know about driver being killed but window nets came to be when Richard Petty hit the inside wall at Darlington and started flipping. You could see his arm come out the window and he was lucky that it wasn't crushed or he was thrown out, not long after window nets became to be.

I will rephrase the question to make sure I understand it correctly.\nWhat I think you're asking is that since the earth is travelling around the sun at thousands of miles an hour, how can a plane keep up with that speed to stay in the earths atmosphere?  \nIt is a very good question.\nI will give you a scenario:\nIf there's a fly inside your car sitting on the dashboard, and the car is travelling at 70 mph, will it crash into the back window as soon as it takes off from the dashboard?  \nThe answer is no because the air inside the car is also travelling at 70 mph, along with everything else inside the car.\nSo, the fly will be operating in the atmosphere inside the car.\nThe same holds true for the plane.  The earth's atmosphere is travelling thousands of miles an hour along with the rest of the earth.  Therefore, the plane is operating inside that atmosphere and will be carried along with it just like the fly in the car.

because the air inside the car is moving with the car

Yes you can especially if the crack goes across the drivers side of the window.

Air inside the car is travelling at the same speed as the car. So for a fly, the car is not moving.\n\nThe Earths rotates at a speed of 1000 miles/h at the equator. If you jump why don't you fall miles away? The answer is the same, the Earth is the car and you are the fly.

Quickly put both hands over your nose so the fly is trapped inside. Then put your head under water for ten minutes and I guarantee the fly will die.

no the beams of light would bend back over the windshield of the car

If it has wings it's a "fly"\nIf it doesn't it's  "grounded"!!! \nThat was a cute question. I'd never thought of that....LOL ;o)
