So Earth and everything is spinning around at 1000mph at the equator. From our perspective we are at a standstill. But let's say a fighter jets flies east to West against Earth at same speed, so now relative to someone in space, the Earth spins but the plane is at a standstill.
Wouldn't that plane now lost its speed from the earth, going against conservation of energy? Conservation of energy always holds true, so what am I missing or is this a bad question.
Just curious. Thanks for any help. I've confused myself
