Objects in motion tend to stay in motion.
Air resistance is an outside force though. And pretty significant at road speeds.
Every time this gets posted you get at least a couple of people pushing up their glasses and refuting it like they’ve never ridden a bike or stuck their hand out of a car window
Fair point. This was the first thing I looked at when I woke up today before putting my brain in gear, and I was thinking of the example of being in a train carriage at 70mph and jumping up - because the air resistance is acting upon the train, not directly upon the passenger jumping up and down, they don’t end up having the back of the train catch up to them at 70mph…
Yes but if he jumps the same direction as the vehocle is going, depending on the angle he jumps at, the surface area he presents for the air resistance would be really small.
I’m confused why the ponytail is getting blown forward.
Gel. Lots and lots of gel.
I interpreted that as just how she has her hair up; to put it another way, her hair is short enough and bound tightly enough that it would maintain that angle with or without wind.
I considered that but I didn’t find it plausible due to the “pull” on the hair at the base of the ponytail. Unless that’s a very oddly shaped skull.
Newton left the chat
I don’t think Newton was dumb enough to think air resistance isn’t a factor
Pretty comic funny
Did you mean “Adventurous”?
Gotta time it with the breaks
Oh I get it, it’s cuz the vehicle is moving.
