So I was in the bus going to school. I sat in the back not directly underneath the emergency exit but more like behind it. Anyways, since it’s been raining consistently, the emergency exits sometimes leak. So I’m sitting down and my jacket sleeve gets wet with a drop from the emergency exit. I remember the law of motion states that and object in motion stays in motion and and object at rest stays at rest until acted upon by an unbalanced force. (I asked a similar question in the past about throwing a ball in a plane)
Wouldn’t that mean that the water, which is “connected” to the bus would go with the motion of the bus? But that doesn’t solve my question to why it flew back towards me. If it’s supposed to go with the motion of the bus, then it would’ve just fallen straight down right? If it doesn’t follow the bus’s motion, then would it be because water is a polar molecule? Or maybe it’s because a bus isn’t as fast as an airplane so it doesn’t have the same result?
