How does a fly inside a moving vehicle, flies at the same place, but still moves along with the vehicle?

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.

The plane in which the movement of fly happens is totally irrelevant to the moving vehicle, the centre of gravity is much higher and not at all pegged to anything stationary within the car like ourselves.

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.

Humming bird  flies in both the directions -- backwards as well forward

I just made it yesterday out of paper and you can't believe it can fly for more than a second... and also you can make living beings sit in it ... ants//// \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nI am sorry I don't know the answer to your question. :(

If you jump, you will be moving at the same speed as the vehicle just before you left the floor.\n\nWhen in the air, if the vehicle is accelerating, the vehicle will move forward faster than you and consequently, you will land some distance from where you jumped and vice versa.\n\nIf on the other hand, the vehicle was not accelerating, you will land at the exact place you jumped from. Of course, this is not counting air resistance.

Don't listen to the other guy because it actually lowers!\nThe faster you go the pressure builds up and that airflow pushes down on the vehicle. MIKE

When it's blowing in the same direction you are travelling. You'll be able to travel faster.

drive, or fly, which ever you perfer

seen a video to the end - the fly indeed doesnt fly upside down , it just flies close to ceiling, then sticks its front legs in front of itself and "palms up" to touch the ceiling above head, then go the second and then third pairs of legs so the fly sits on the ceiling with head facing the oposite direction than when it was flying. \n\nJust as if it wanted to land on a wall , only it flips 180degrees and not just 90

that's called relative velocity.....for the bee the car was still.....

I assume you mean a fly in the car with you.\n\nThe reason is inertia.  You, the car, the fly, and all of the air in the car share the same inertia, which means relative to each other, you are motionless.  Open a window, and inertia and air pressure differentials will circulate air through the car, and hopefully suck the little bugger out so you can drive in peace.

Think of the wheels as spinning masses or revolving weights, in fact gyroscopes. \nEach wants to turn left or right while spinning but is constrained by it's axis,\nHowever both drift overtime.\nNow add another pair further back and wider apart, and this pair are not on the same line of travel.\nWith four wheels all wanting to drift the resultant direction becomes a straighter line.

They do fly.\n\nWhere are you getting your misinformation?

spinning wheels go round and round

This is uniform motion, if it is going in a straight line at constant speed.\n\nIf there are no forces acting upon a body, and therefore no acceleration (remember F=ma) or change in direction, nor any change in angular momentum, the motion is uniform. If it were changing direction, accelerating or going round in circles then it is non uniform.

As the car moves along, air passes over the top of the roof, creating an area of low pressure.  The air pressure inside the car, having a higher pressure than outside, then forces the canvas upward.\n\nThe principle is similar to that of an airplane wing.  Of course though, there isn't anywhere enough lift generated to make the car fly.
