How Far Do You Move If You Jump in a Moving Train?

[Lani]

I'm taking a trip aboard the Shanghai Transrapid Train. The train maintains its maximum commercial speed of 430km/h along a straight.
I position myself at the centre of my carriage and jump straight up at 2ms-1.

How many horizontal meters am I displaced along the aisle before landing?

Displacement towards the front of the train is negative and towards the back of the train is positive
