I was not sure. But I was more inclined towards my first answer. So I thought why not get things clear. I hope you have it right. Thanks.

What if I am enclosed in a big box which initially has some air. It starts moving at a uniform speed of xKmph. Now suddenly , suppose the box becomes a vacuum. and I jump at the same instant. WHat happens? Will I land at the same place wrt to the box or will I smash the back? Now what about...
