krall: another question for another day!!Definitely you will land on the floor, what I intend to find out is if the person will land completely standing as he was or fall/loose balance from the impact. I'm of the opinion anyway that a person who jumps on a moving train lands on a different spot but not very far away from it's initial point by virtue of the gravitational force (deceleration) acting downwards. |

Nonso23:Jumping in an elevator moving upwards at constant velocity will almost certainly make a person loose balance when his feet touches the floor (which has moved a farther distance compared to the distance the person will travel when returning downwards from jump). Back to the train: The action of gravity acting on the person who jumped would have tampered with any velocity that body is sharing with the moving train. Do you agree? |

Nonso23:this question has little to do with gravity |

Nonso23:sure enough gravity always acts downwards and brings the person down but here the motion we are talking about is not in the up-down sense. |

Nonso23: I didn't understand this one at all The first explanation was better. Off topic: Bros, what do you think about time travel? Can it be done? |

krall: Picture this scenario. You are trying to put Einstein's theory of relativity to test. You will land on the same spot, even though in actual fact you have moved through a curve. The same thing happens when you jump on a spot in you house. You see the earth is moving at a very high speed around the sun, it is also spinning; but when you jump up you don't necessarily land forward or backwards do you? In actual fact when you jump in the air, anywhere on earth, you have jumped in a curve. That's also why some people say the shortest distance between two points is not actually a line, but a curve. As it is on earth, so it is on the train. |

5minsmadness: Lol. His Wa a technical explanation. If you hold an orange in a moving train and throw it up straight from tour hand it should land in you hand. This is because when you throw the she me orange up in your room, you are doing the sane thing as in a moving train, because the earth is moving in a speed much faster than the fastest train but you can't feel this first because the outer space is mostly vacuum and hence little friction or drag; and also because you have gravity puling things down. Yes, it is possible to build a time machine. Time is a parameter like distance. Just like you can walk back and for in distance (called space), you can walk back and forth in time- you just need the means to. Maybe some of our ancestors have even managed to do this, they just didn't realise what they had done. |

krall: Picture this scenario.to be or not to be on the same spot, it depends on 1. Time spent in air 2. Force applied to jump 3. Speed of the train before someone ask me to proof. You are in a 'molue' being pushed at constant force (change in position is equal) and you jump up, what will happen? |
Re: This Question Can Only Be Answered By The Imaginative Minded by vizboy(m): 12:59pm On Jul 29, 2014 |
I still cant see how you will land on the same spot. Excerpt the train is static. When you are in moving car and you throw an orange up it won't land in your hands. There is bound to be little diversion Well I can be wrong maybe theoritically it can be possible, but practically. Don't see it happening |

Nonso23: Lol. You are one of those who believe what's done is done. History can't be remade or re-lived. Well, at the risk of cupping a headache, I think there are possibilities. What are we living in? The present right? How do we know it isn't a controlled remodelled one to suit a people/race/ even individual? How can you be aware? Do you know what your fate is? How do you know someone or something doesn't know your fate? And has control over it. I think one can control the future by going to the past. Out present is a past depending on the way you look at it, whether linearly as in seeing the future because you don't know you're in the past; or by astrology, which can put our position ( our conscious present) any where : past, present or future, depending on what its relative to. For instance if a space ship is developed that can move faster than light, then 1day on the ship and in relation to earth can be 1000yrs on another planet. It means whatever we on earth know to be happening on that planet as "present" will be the future of those that have gone there, by 1000yrs. For the people on the planet communicating to earth, the space explorers would be part of their 1000yrs history. Nah, I can't explain more than this if you don't get it, sorry. |

vizboy: I still cant see how you will land on the same spot. Excerpt the train is static. The only reason why the orange won't land in your palm is if you didn't throw it to land in your hand in d first place, or if the place is airy such that the orange is subject to the elements while in the air. If not, the the orange does not even know its in motion, it simply goes up from your hand and comes down directly on your hand. Just the same way you don't know you're in motion because the earth is protected from the outer space by its atmosphere. So when you jump up, you are actually like orange in a moving train or vehicle, but you don't realise it.. |
