Question:
if a bee is on a bus would it get splatted against the back window when the bus moves even when the bee isn't touching anything else? because if u think bout it logically it should.

hmm, this is not as an answer but a rejoinder to the previous answers. Think of this. If you were to bounce a ball vertically on the floor of a moving bus, what would happen? Could you continue to bounce the ball or does it move in the opposite direction as the bus?I think you can keep dribbling as long as you wish. So the ball stays with you. Same as the bee.

No, it will move along with the air trapped inside the busNo. The air pocket of the cabin would act just as static air. The bee flies with impunity.
no for the same reason that you dont and i did think about it and its not logical
How can freeways detect when traffic is congested?
No it wouldnt.Do people get splatted against the windows?
The bus is a closed environment, so it has momentum which includes everythin inside the bus
Is there any way to add the zones I have on a paper National Rail travelcard to an Oyster card?
No. Everything on the bus is relative to the speed it's moving at.does it make sense ? what govt. has done for the cause?
No it wouldn't, as the bus moves off, the air, and therefore the bee, is carried along at the same speed as the bus.Even if the rules were ignored and the bee was swept to the back of the bus, the bus wouldn't be travelling fast enough to do any harm, as it may only be doing about15-20 mph by the time the bee hit the rear window, not fast enough to do any harm.
Where can I get a Speed Limit road sign that says '40 MPH' ?
Similar answer, different reasoning. The bus has a windshield in front, and a roof above it, and almost every bus is going to have few if any windows. As a result, the acceleration WOULD move the bus relative to the bee...however, the accerleration is too slow to send it careening into the back window with enough force to "splat" it. I would think of it the same way as if a person was attempting to walk down the aisle of the bus as it accelerates...they would have to find a seat. The bee would just land somewhere and enjoy the ride.What US city was first introduced to traffic lights in 1914?
BUT, as you theorize, yes, the bee would not accelerate with the bus as it moves, unless it was landed. It would notice the bus moving in respect to its position. Although everyone is correct to say the air accelerates with the bus, the air, unlike a seat, does not exert a force on the bee sufficient to accelerate the bee with it.
Does the road rage monstor get to you?
An important part of this is the difference between acceleration and velocity/speed. As a comic strip my physics teacher showed us explains it, a school bus driver figured that if he drove fast enough to keep the kids pinned to the back of their seats, there wouldn't be any trouble...but as you know, just because you're going fast doesn't pin anyone to the seat, it's only when you accelerate that the force is exerted...and that is why the bee would probably be safe.
Mapquest, Yahoo Maps, etc...Which do you prefer?
As everybody has already mentioned, no, it won't. There are a few things to consider in this scenario. First, the air is trapped in the bus so air itself wouldn't propel it 'backward'. Second, a bee can fly. If it is flying inside a moving bus, it is moving by its own forces, (almost completely) unaffected by the bus.how much is too much for a gallon of gas?
"Every body perseveres in its state of being at rest or of moving uniformly straight ahead, except insofar as it is compelled to change its state by forces impressed. "
What's it like to live in Ashford and commute to London?
Humans, for example, cannot fly and the force of motion of being in contact with the bus is what's propelling us 'forward'. You could think of the human body as 'at rest' within the bus just like you can consider the body 'at rest' when you are asleep in your bedroom. In reality, we are all constantly in motion as the Earth moves through the universe.
Whats wrong with establishing more efficent mass transportation systems?
Also, I've had a bee in my truck and saw it fly around unaffected by the velocity of the moving vehicle. I had to pull over and let the bee out because I am very allergic to them.

No, it moves with the bus, newton's laws of motion. Same thing when you jump on a bus, because you already have the momentum of the bus you are technically an object in motion so you keep moving with the bus at its speed. Now if the bus were to slam on its breaks while you were jumping you would slam into something because the bus stopped but you were still in the air moving with the original momentum.Not unless he is flying "really fast" in that direction! Consider this, - the world is traveling around 12,000 miles an hour (at the equater) -on it's axis, -- why don't we fly off into space??
The answer for both is that the "enviroment" is traveling that fast too", -- since the "relative air aroud the bee is traveling at the same speed as the bus (or the earth)! Now - if the bee flys out the window, - when the bus is going 70mph, - the sudden difference in speed is likely to "shatter" the bee into many pieces, because a bee "is not designed" to go through air at 70 mph. In essence,- the air is "standing still", - but the bee was going 70 mph in relation to the gorund when he left the bus, (since that is how fast the bus was going)!
Why do Buttholes do 30 mph in a 45 mph speed zone !!!?
Now if you are standing at the back of the bus, and the bus stops suddenly, you are going to fly towards the front of the bus right? Now, that's "inertia" --the bus stopped by the friction of it's tires (with brakes applied), -- so now the bus isn't moving, but you still are (air has very little friction at 70mph or less), the inertia makes you tend to go in the same direction for a while! (unless something "solid" (and un-moveable) gets in your way! Your body mass (weight)_ is large, in relation to your physical size, -so it takes longer for "friction" (created by drag), - to stop you from moving foreward! That is "inertia".
Any video of sleepy female drivers out there home made or other?
By the way if the bus could stop fast enough, the bee would go towards the front,--or to the back if it could accelerate (the bus)- fast enough, - but it but it's inertia is (the bee) very small because of it's weight. (You learn all this in Physics in high school)! Very little mass retains very little inertia (becacuse of friction)! It's "drag" is quite a bit because of it's light weight, and it's size (in relation to weight) -- so it would travel only a short distance! ....It will more readily adapt to the speed of the air within the bus!
