The mosquitos sitting say on the dashboard of the car are travelling at the same speed as the car, just like you.
Relative to you they are stationary because you are moving at the same speed.
Relative to the road, they are travelling at 100kmph.
If they fly about in the car, they appear to be travelling faster than you. e.g. if they fly about the car at 4kmph towards the front of the car, they are travelling at 4kmph relative to you, and 104kmph relative to the road. if they fly backwards at 4kmph they are travlling at 4kmph relative to you, and 96kmph relative to the road.
The key is that both you and the mossie are within the closed system of the car.

A mosquito inside a car will move in relation to the air trapped inside a car.
Inertia also plays a role. When the car first begins to move, the air inside (and the mosquito) will get pushed towards the back of the car, but eventually the air catches up and the movement of the vehicle has no effect.

this is an all around poorly worded question. if you're asking if mosquitos inside your car have to fly as fast as the car is driving to keep up, that is wrong. they are not moving relative to the car, but they are moving relative to the road.

I has been wisely defined by many (and different cases and in different languages even in 365 days), ... yet what do people who answer NO recommend? "Does it recommend the mosquito is traveling at a hundred mph?" sure !!! what's the doubt? If we are traveling at that velocity, the mass of air in the motor vehicle too, the mosquito is interior the motor vehicle, then additionally IF: > we use the comparable gadget of reference for our speeds (motor vehicle @ 100mph, those interior additionally talked related to the comparable gadget); > evaluate the mosquito flying slowly and mantaining distance to the motor vehicle abode windows, seats and so on. (meaning, we forget its ?speed to motor vehicle gadgets and persons interior of); THEN the mosquito IS traveling at a hundred mph too. occasion: we are traveling from NYC to Wahington DC in a motor vehicle. there's a mosquito bugging interior. If the mosquito's generic velocity have been 0 after arriving in Washington he could have stayed at manhattan. Regards. . . exterior/interior??? the value is defined in connection with coordinates, in the event that they're the comparable for the motor vehicle and passengers we can not say the motor vehicle strikes and the passengers (bugs blanketed) do not. lower back, if we flow to a distinctive city in a motor vehicle in basic terms the motor vehicle travels and we live at abode? If we flow in yet another motor vehicle on the comparable velocity, yet this different motor vehicle isn't ours, then considering that we´re exterior our motor vehicle we flow, yet as quickly as we are interior it no?? Ridiculous !!

Even sitting still, relative to the outside of the car, they ARE already moving as fast as the car.

Its the air pressure inside the car or any other vehicle, ship or plane. Try opening a window and see what happens.
