I have a very basic question that I have not yet found the answer to. Basically it's this: if you are traveling in a vehicle at 60 mph, what is it that allows a flying insect inside the vehicle to fly around? Is the insect traveling at 60 mph plus or minus its own speed depending on the direction it's flying within the vehicle? If so, why is the fact that it's inside the vehicle allow it to travel at a speed that it could not reach outside of the vehicle? And what if it flew out the window? Would it suddenly fall to the ground because of a loss of speed or would it gradually slow down to its normal speed of flight?
