Jumping on a moving train vs. the roof: why do I land in the same spot inside but it feels different on top?
I'm going to preface this by saying,.I'm not a scientist I just think too much about things and want to know why they happen.
Hypothetical situations below-
Okay I'm inside a moving train and I jump in the air, I land in the same spot.
I'm on top of the moving train, I jump, I land in a different spot on top of the train. Like I get it because physics but I can't explain it right? It just makes sense. Because I left the moving platform so I'm not moving with it anymore.
Okay so now use this as a cruise ship. I'm inside the moving ship, same thing I jump, land in the same spot inside.
Now assume I'm on the top deck but it's like a legit deck you can walk around on right? but if I jump, I should land in different spot because again I've left the moving platform?? But I feel like it doesn't work the same way. Why?
