what will be the velocity of flies flying in the car?

Question

imagine a mosquito flying in car and car movind at some speed mosquito is not in contact with the car but its still moving with car.
how ia this happening

Answer 1

the same velocity as the car, unless the fly is flying in the same direction or opposite to the car, in which case you will need to subtract (same direction) or add ( opposite) the speed of the fly to the speed of the car. In either case, the speed of the fly would be negligible compared to the car, so lets just make it the speed of the car and call it a night. This was a nerdy answer.

Answer 2

Now if u take a closed car what happens is that the fly is now flying in the car. The air inside the car is also moving. Therefore the mosquito moves with the car. otherwise it would be smashed at the back of the car.

Answer 3

It is relative to the person's reference.
If you were in a commercial jet flying 500 MPH and you got up and walked toward the front of the plane - relative to someone on the plane, you are walking perhaps 2 MPH. Relative to someone on the ground, you are walking 502 MPH !
If your car is traveling 45 MPH, the mosquito, and the air inside the car, is also going 45 MPH.
Uniform or steady speed does not effect anything you might do any differently than if your were stationary in your own back yard. If you toss a ball into the air inside the car at 45 MPH - it doesn't fly backwards into the rear glass. It simple goes straight up, and straight down - at least that's what you see it do - it's actually traveling in a parabolic curve forward both up and down at 45MPH!

Answer 4

The air within the car is traveling at the same velocity as the car. From the mosquito's point of view she's flying around in still air.

Answer 5

The mosquito is moving with car velocity relative to earth and is moving with its flying velocity relative to a person sitting in the car. This situation is similar to the following. Two men are sitting in a bus moving with some velocity. Then the men can be seen travelling with velocity of bus relative to a man seeing them from outside and they are in rest relative to one another.

Answer 6

FOR AN OBSERVER INSIDE THE CAR IT WILL BE THE SAME AS THE VELOCITY OF THE FLY AS IF THE CAR WAS AT REST.BUT FOR A STATIONERY OBSERVER ONTHE GROUND VELOCITY OF THE FLY =VELOCITY OF CAR +/-VELOCITY OF FLY
+sign,when fly is moving in the direction of the car
_sign,when fly is moving in the opposite direction of the car
