what happends if you stand on a car's roof going 60MPH while

>>9049741
the car would go 120 MPH and you would still fall off

Not enough information. You need to tell me if I, standing on the top of the car, am facing the same way of the car, the back, one of the sides, or whatever angle possible.

>>9049742
If the car is going 60mph it can not, by definition, go 120mph.

>>9049743
Also, should we consider the air, is there an atmosphere, what is the gravity, what is the card made of, what is its density, what is its fucking topology. I hate people who make threads like this because they just don't understand everything that's in a question.

the 60 is contained in the 120

You won't feel the wind.

It's like when Einstein rode that light beam. The curvature of space time cancels out the Coriolis effects of the earth, creating anti-wind currents that, in tandem with Nye-Tyson Effect, negate the effects on your body while creating new genders.

But it depends on the reference point. Say that I'm on Mars, and I see the Earth, as well as everything on it, traveling at several thousand miles per hour. If suddenly the car stops going at the same speed as the Earth, then it will wind up in space. And due to it's small size and incredibly low speed, it may be ejected from the solar system. You would die.

Nothing, you just won't feel the wind or anything.
I'm assuming the wind itself is 60 regardless of your situation.
Imagine you as a kid and you stick your hand out of a car (going 60) and you feel that wind rush going against your hand
But this new 60 mph wind is going to push that oppositely on the back of your hand
So it would be as if you are just standing outside with no car and no wind.

A solution of the navier stokes equation is needed for a meaningful anwser

>>9049996
Then solve it, you brainlet.

group B was brutal.

Too bad accidents happen.

>>9049741
60mph relative or absolute?

Is it a 60mph wind in the direction of travel or a 120 one felt as a 60mph relative wind?

>>9050259
Presumably the former.

The cops pull you over, and give you a fine.

Or the driver has to brake and you fly off the roof to a gruesome death.

Or nothing, since it is impossible for you to run at 60mph on the top of a cars roof. (on the roof of a car going 60) is probably what you meant to say. right?

>>9049777
now that you mention Einstein, what happens if you are on a spaceship at 99.99% os the speed of light and turn on a headlight on the same ship? would you see the lightbeam slowly advancing forward?

>>9052406
No, all reference frames perceive the speed of light to be the same.

It would be no different than turning on your car's headlights.

>>9049741
In an ideal situation you'd be able to stand on the roof, in a realistic situation you'd go tumbling off the side of the car.

Even if you're being hit by a 60MPH wind, you'd still want to tie yourself down.
