Why you stay at same place when you jump in moving train or bus?

When you are inside a moving train or bus, you are moving at the same speed as that train or bus, and you have the same momentum, so even when you jump, and are no longer in contact with the floor, your existing momentum will carry you along with the vehicle, under normal circumstances. If you happen to jump at a time with the train or bus is changing the speed or direction of its travel, however, you will find that you do not stay in the same place, with respect to the train or bus. You need to have solid contact with the vehicle for its own changes of motion to alter your own motion.

Can a body be at rest as well as in motion at the same time . explain?
Example: When train is moving a person sitting in a train is in the state of rest with respect to train but in motion with respect to person standing outside of the train.
If you jump up in a moving object why do you fall in the sameplace?
The answer is based on Galilean interial frames. If you are standing on a (non-accelerating) platform moving at a constant velocity, it is physically identical to standing on a still, non-moving platform. The sum of the forces acting on you (remember force = mass x acceleration) is the same in both cases.
Why do you have to run a certain distance in the direction of motion of train while stepping out of the moving train?
Before you step off of the train, your body is moving past the walkway at the same speed as the train. Its natural tendency is to keep moving in the same direction at the same speed, but once you step onto the walkway, that means your body wants to move along the walkway at the speed of the train. You have to slow your body down gradually, which you can only do by deftly manipulating the contact between the walkway and your feet. If you stepped off and expected to just stand there, your feet might stay on the walkway, but the rest of you still needs to keep going at the speed of the train, resulting in a phenomenon known as "falling down".
Why dont you land in a different spot when you jump in the air since the earth is spinning so fast?
Because you are moving at the same velocity as the Earth.
How do you know IF a object is moving?
Objects are always moving. The earth is moving and so everything on it. Nothing even off the planet ever stops moving because ALL motion is relative. Something is only not moving relative to something moving the same way.
How do you do a triple jump on Mario 64?
While you are moving, jump (wile moving). Once you land jump again (still moving same direction). Jump one more time exactly as you land (while moving in the same direction) to do the triple jump and get a little higher.
What are the same consonants in the words moving and train?
The same consonants in the words "moving" and "train" are "n" and "m".
how would an observer on train a witch is moving at nearly the speed of light view o'clock on train be which is moving at the same speed and in the same direction?
The clock on train B would appear to be the same width and to run at the same rate
If you jump up and down in a moving vehicle will you land in the same spot and why?
You will land in the same place relative to that vehicle, provided that vehicle is going at a constant speed in a constant direction. You can try this on a train. Make sure you try it when the train is not speeding up, slowing down, or going around a corner. Jump as high as you can, and you should land in basically the same spot on the floor of the train. But if you do it while looking out the window, you will see that you are still passing objects. This is because of inertia, described by Newton's first law. "An object in motion will remain in motion unless acted upon by a net force." So with no wind inside the train, and no-one pushing on you, you will land on the same spot on the floor of the train from which you jumped. Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_inertia
If you are riding on a train that speeds past another train moving in the same direction on an adjacent track it appears that the other train is moving backward. why?
because your going forward at a faster speed its hard to explain
If a train is speeding down a railroad track at a speed of 50 miles per hour. From whose reference point is the train not moving?
The passengers reference point ! The passengers are moving at the same speed as the train.
Can the train appear to be rest at rest while moving?
Yes and no. All motion is relative. When you say you are moving you mean in relation to something else. If are on the train and you choose something that moving alongside you at the same speed (another train for instance) then you are not moving relative to that, however you are moving in relation to the countryside. Both trains are moving in relation to a cow in the field.
Do poodles poop in the same place?
if you train him to.
Has anyone ever thought that the reason we jump and fall back in the same place is because the earth is not moving?
That was the way most people thought centuries ago. We now know without a doubt that Earth orbits the sun. The reason we fall back to the same place on Earth after jumping is because we are moving with Earth and continue to do so because momentum is conserved. An object in motion will stay in motion at the same speed and in the same direction unless it is acted upon by an outside force. If you are flying on a passenger jet and jump up, you will land on the same spot on the floor that you jumped from because you are moving at the same speed as the plane.
If you are on a moving train and you toss a coin where does the coin land?
This sounds like a joke question. If you toss a coin in a train, it lands in the train. If you toss it out the window, or otherwise off the train, it lands on whatever is out there. On the other hand, assuming this is not a joke, the coin will land where it would if you tossed it if the train were stationary. In other words, the coin is moving at the same velocity as the train before the coin toss, and since that part of its momentum is preserved through the toss, it will land, relative to the train, in the same place. This assumes, of course, that the train is not changing speed during the coin toss, that the windows are not admitting a wind, and so on.
How do you interpret a reference point?
something that stay at the same velocity...or dumbing it down :) is what an object is moving relative to something else.. so if there is a train and a girl watching the train the girl is a reference point because the train is moving relative of it
How do you apply the concept of momentum to compare the mass and velocity of a slow moving train and of a high-speed bullet?
The slow moving train has a much higher mass than the high-speed bullet, but the bullet has a faster velocity than the slow moving train so their momentum is the same.
