does insects fly faster on a moving vehicle??

Answer 1

Theory of relativity:

The theory of relativity, or simply relativity, refers specifically to two theories: Albert Einstein's special relativity and general relativity.

The term "relativity" was coined by Max Planck in 1908 to emphasize how special relativity (and later, general relativity) uses the principle of relativity.

Special relativity
Main article: Special relativity
Albert Einstein's 1905 paper "On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies" introduced the special theory of relativity. Special relativity considers that observers in inertial reference frames, which are in uniform motion relative to one another, cannot perform any experiment to determine which one of them is "stationary". This is actually Galileo's principle of relativity; Einstein's contribution was to explicitly include electromagnetism within this principle, which required that the Galilean transformations be replaced by the Lorentz transformations. The resultant theory has many surprising consequences. In particular, it requires that the speed of light in a vacuum be the same for all these observers, regardless of their motion, or the motion of the source of the light, since the invariance of the speed of light is a consequence of Maxwell's equations of electromagnetism.

General relativity
Main article: General relativity
General relativity was developed by Einstein in the years 1907 - 1915. General relativity replaces the global Lorentz symmetry of special relativity with a local Lorentz symmetry in the presence of matter. The presence of matter "curves" spacetime, and this curvature affects the path of free particles (and even the path of light). General relativity uses the mathematics of differential geometry and tensors in order to describe gravitation as an effect of the geometry of spacetime. This theory is based on the general principle of relativity, which requires all observers to experience the same laws of physics, not just those moving with uniform speed, hence its name.

Answer 2

Thank you...Smokey ( previous answer). Your answer--Theory of relativity was superb. Yes I posted point for that one!

Next the "initial" question--has a gramatical problem.

Does is incorrect in the question. Rather you should correct the question to read:

DO insects fly faster on a moving vehicle.

Now that grammar is corrected--we alas have come upon a second problem. How can an insect "fly" if it is attached "on" a moving vehicle. So the question is inaccurate.

Continuing with the problem, we could substitute and make the question:

Do insects fly faster IN a moving vehicle. In this the response would of course be a resounding NO. Because of course the insects would still "fly" at the same velocity, but would be inside a much faster bullet--therby creating a subuniverse with the same relative constants.

So--in final answer

No, insects do not fly faster in moving vehicles.

Answer 3

If a fly was trapped in a moving vehicle and there were no windows open to move around the air, the fly would fly as fast as it normally would. If there was air let into the vehicle through a window, then the fly would likely not be able to keep up with the speed and the air would push it to the back window. SPLAT!

Answer 4

i think so. catch a fly and let it go in your moving vehicle i want to try.

Answer 5

If you are going through a school zone ... bees fly 14 mph

Answer 6

No, it is all relativity concept....

For eg : if you are in a big space ship which is travelling at around 25000 km/hr & u start walking inside or as a matter of fact floating inside it... it doesnt means u r flying at 25000+x km/hr.... where x is your floating speed.....

Answer 7

if they are ON the vehicle they are not flying.

Answer 8

They do on my windshield.

Answer 9

no.

Answer 10

wt da hell???!!!!!!!!!
