Best Answer

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

How do you do a triple jump on Mario 64?

How can we minimize the danger of jumping from a moving vehicle?

It rather depends on the speed of the vehicle, and the surface you would land on (hard road, soft sand), and why you need to jump? If you must jump, face the direction of travel, and allow your momentum to do several forward rolls until you stop.

How do you Pro-Hop?

A Pro-Hop is a move that is more formally known as the "jump-stop" or "jump-step." A jump-step is when you are driving or moving with the ball and then putting both hands on the ball to do a jump towards any direction you wish, landing on both feet at the same time. If you don't land on your feet at the same time, it is considered a travel. After you land, you can only jump, pass, or score- not move. You cannot move at all after you land.

How do you jump in Sonic in Mario World?

I recommend you get a large amount of flat land to practice. To triple jump, you jump into the air while you are running forward. Next, when you land, jump again. The second jump should be higher than the last one. Finally, just as you land, jump one more time, which will send you spinning through the air. Keep practicing, and you'll have it down in no time.
