lol!
Yes you read it right... Thats the question a lecturer asked us. To all the science students on Nairaland, can you provide me with answers
"How fast are you moving while seating on a chair?"

Ha'a where are our science students na??
you are needed here......

like pirvate jets

The speed would be too much,so can't really calculate.So I'm just gonna chill and enjoy.

1180 kilometers/hr. That's the speed of the earths rotation about its axis and everything static on the earth travels at that speed too.

Seems u re making a reasonable point but u ain't confident.....

God gave u the brain to sort things out.. not to chill and enjoy

That's 1670 km/hr or 1070miles/hr. That's one massive speed really. How come we don't feel it?

Ok...let's just assume for one second that there is a god that gives brain,would it not be fair of him to allow me use it the way I like.u sabi use ur brain na hin we still dey find chibok girls.Nansense!!!

When two objects are moving at exactly the same velocity,ie when no of them are accelerating,the distance between them remains constant,therefore it becomes difficult to calculate or feel the change in motion because its as though they re both standing in the same place. Think of it like five flatbed trucks travelling @ the same speed in the same direction,you could easily walk from the first to the fifth because the all have the same velocity so it would just be as though you were walking on parked trucks,but if one were to be going fasster or slower,then you would likely fall because you body is affeccted by the force resulting from the change in velocity.
