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.

Does speed include the direction an object is traveling?

No, speed does not include the direction an object is traveling. Speed only refers to how fast an object is moving regardless of its direction. Velocity, on the other hand, includes both speed and direction.

Which car has the most kinetic energy?

A car traveling at a higher speed will have more kinetic energy than a car moving at a slower speed. So, the car with the most kinetic energy would be the one traveling at the highest speed.


What instantaneous speed does not change an object is moving a?

If an object's instantaneous speed is constant, then the object is moving at a constant speed without accelerating or decelerating. This means that the object is traveling at a steady rate without any changes in its velocity.


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 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.


Is your speed constant if you are traveling in a straight line with an acceleration of zero?

Yes as there is no acceleration then the speed which is already there would remain the same as no change in speed is brought out.


Uniform circular motion deals with objects moving with what speed in a circular path?

When an object is moving in a uniform circular motion while traveling in a circular path, this means it has a constant speed. When an object is moving in a circular path, this indicates it is constantly being pulled towards the center of the circle.
