If a Fly lands inside a bus. and sits on top of the seat. and the Bus drives 70 miles per hour what happens?

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

The answer is 15 to 45 miles per hour

No. It would still be called a fly because that's what it is. It would be called disabled. Oh no, that's not pc is it. It would have to be physically challenged.

Somewhere between 6 and 8 miles per hour but unfortunately the butterfly dies before it has reached 10 miles of flight..☺

dba_gregg is correct.\n\nThe gravity pulls the front while the back is still supported by normal reaction force. Thus a torque is acting so as to rotate the bus with the front down. The angular momentum produced is conserved and the bus begins to rotate about the free axis passing through its centre of mass.

it would just have a longer name. its name would be "the bug formerly known as Fly"

Every object touching and having good grip on the body of the train, move along with the train.This means that every object inside the train moves with the same velocity as that of the train.Accordingly, fly is also moving with the train. It has gained this speed by sitting on the interior body of the train.According to theory of physics, absolute velocity has no effect and diffrence when the frame of reference is within the object.Therefore fly while flying makes two kinds of motion 1) It is moving along with the train 2) it`s flying in its desired directions.The motions (1) & (2) are true to the observer outside the train.But, motion (2) is true to the observer inside the train because the observer inside the train is also moving along with the train.Moreover, When the fly tries to enter the fast moving train from outside the train, then the probability of striking on the panel (wall) of windows is more with respect to the speed of the train.This is because the fly is not in the speed of the train.You might have observed, some of the men on the platform enter the moving train by moving along with the train for some distance and jump into the train. I think this is enough to comprehend.

Wait. If the plane is in midair it's flying, right? Let's just say it's flying very slowly but it's not just still (motionless) in one place. Anyway, the truck and the air inside it would start to move. The inertia of the plane means it would lag this movement and thus drift toward the rear of the truck. It might hit the back, or the pilot might be able to correct the drift. It's the same as if you are flying a real plane and experience a wind shear of gradually increasing speed. If you didn't stall and crash, you'd eventually return to the air speed (speed relative to still or moving air) that you had before.

A question for the ages!  \n\nFound this on Relative Motion for ya...\n\nIt would depend if your windows are rolled up or not, If the windows are rolled up then the fly would continue to hover next to you, because when you accelerate all the air in the car with you would also accelerate, this would be a single reference frame.  If the windows were down or you would have a convertible with the top down and a rear windscreen and accelerated it would be possible to catch the fly in the rear windscreen because the air next to your head would remain in place as the car moved, although the fly would probably start flying to avoid the upcoming object.

I assume you mean a fly that is flying inside a moving train?\n\nUm...the air must move with the train, I guess.  Um...you've just blown my mind.  I have no idea.

SRY!! Matt is going to a basketball game out of town. If he could travel 75mph, He would arrive one hour early. If he could travel 45mph he arrives one hour too Late. How far is Matt's trip\n\ndis=75*(time-1)\ndis=45*(time+1)\n\nthen\ndis= 225mile,    time=4hour

That's nothin. I was on a bus trip once and an older gentleman in the seat next to me died. I didn't know it, he went quiet like, but his head kept flopping over on me. He was sort of leaning forward and I though he was one of those people who could sleep like that. Who the hell knows what you're going to meet on a bus, and I just kept pushing his head back every time we'd go around a curve. I was getting a little tried of it, and wasn't being all that gentle, as I hoped the guy would wake up. Needless to say, he didn't, and man was I was I surprised when we stopped a couple hours later. When I got out of my seat, his head and shoulders flopped into the isle! I was pretty damn startled, I'll tell you that. A lot of things happened then, among them an impatient old lady in a black coast who began poking the guy with her umbrella and telling him to move. The driver finally came back, and was going to give the guy mouth to mouth, but since the body was cold and stiff he decided not too. All kinds of things happened after that, but you talk about a creepy feeling. I haven't ridden a bus since

54 mph.\n\nTruck: 2 hours + 10 hours at 45 miles an hour = 12 hours at 45 mph = 540 miles.\n\nCar: 540 miles in 10 hours = 54 miles an hour.\n\nThis is assuming no stops were made and the bladders involved were made of steel.

The fly get's very close to the ceiling, then put's up it's two front legs.  These legs grasp the ceiling and the fly does a "handstand" and flips over.

Nope...force is what you are looking to determine.  Force equals mass x acceleration.  The fly would have to travel MUCH faster to have any impact on the train.  Also, the fly, once it made initial contact with the train, doesn't decelerate all at once...parts of it continue moving after other parts stop, and some parts start moving in East and West directions...SPLAT!

What has four wheels and flies? A garbage truck! Haha, I'm sooo funny!

That is because the fly IS moving at the speed at which the vehicle is moving. By the way, it DOES NOT hover at the same place. Suppose the fly is a little fast than the car , then it appears to the fly that the wind-shield is moving towards it and it then adjusts it's speed to remain in the same place( if it chooses to). In the same way in all other cases, it modifies it's speed.\n Someone above pointed to inertia. Remember inertia only acts if the fly or any other object is in contact with the moving object. Otherwise it does'nt come into picture.
