The air in the compartment starts moving. So the situation is like being out in free air when a breeze starts to blow. If the fly had zero mass it would go exactly with it. Since it doesn't have zero mass, a "drag" effect will accelerate it and its speed will quickly approach the speed of the air. In the carriage it means that the fly will shift a little way to the back wall.

As you drive down the road in a car why objects inside the car appearto be stationary when compared to the objects outside of the car?

When you are driving, the objects inside the car are moving at the same speed and direction as the car, so they appear stationary relative to you. On the other hand, the objects outside the car are stationary or moving at varying speeds, which creates a visual contrast making them seem like they are moving relative to you.


Why does a stationary train appear to be moving?

Because there's no such thing as "really" stationary or "really" moving. If the distance between a point on one train and a point on the other train is changing, then a person on either train says that the other train is moving, and both of them are correct. A "stationary" train only appears to be moving if the train you're on is moving relative to that one.
