How can a fly fly around a moving car and not be affected by the speed at which the car is traveling?

It is affected because the fly is traveling at the same speed as the car and the air inside of it. When you are in the same predicament, like flying on an airplane, you can get up and walk around without being affected by the fast flowing air outside. The same situation occurs for the fly in a moving car as long as the speed is steady. When the speed changes, then the air inside and the fly in it will be affected, but only a small amount because the air is light.
The air in the car is moving with the car; it is not stationary with respect to the road. It may feel quite windy to you, if stuck your head out of the window, you would have difficulty breathing in the blast of wind. In the car both you and the fly are greatly protected from the wind even with an open cabin.

If an object accelerates in the same direction in which it is moving how is its speed affected?
The speed of the object will increase.
If an object accelerates in the same direction which it is moving how is it speed affected?
The speed of the object will increase.
Does the speed of the wave traveling on the slinky depend on how fast you're moving your hand?
No

Will the speed of moving object affected by the area of surface contacted?
Yes.

The distance traveled by an automobile moving at a constant velocity is?
(Its speed) x (time it spends traveling).
Which describe acceleration involving only a change in directions?
This type of acceleration occurs when an object is moving around a circle at a constant speed. As the object moves around the circle, the direction of its velocity is constantly changing. This type of acceleration is called centripetal acceleration. The direction of the acceleration is toward the center of the circle. I hope this answers your question. A car traveling 25 MPH turns 30-degrees to the left without losing speed -- it has accelerated.
What is constant speed Give an example?
if an object is moving without any net force or acceleration, it is moving at constant speed, or constant velocity. For example a satellite orbiting the earth is moving at constant speed, a car traveling at 60 mph, a wind of 20 mph. etc.
What is the speed of light while traveling 0 c?
The speed of light depends on the refractive index (optical density) of the medium through which it travels. It is not affected by temperature.
Does sound travels faster downwind than upwind?
Sound travels faster downwind. The speed at which sound travels is relative to the medium it is moving through. When sound is traveling upwind, you subtract the wind speed from the speed of sound. When it is traveling down wind you add the wind speed.
