Multiple Choice
Suppose a person is in a jet airliner traveling at a constant speed of 400 km/h in a constant direction. All windows are blocked, so they cannot see outside, and there are no vibrations from the engines. What experiment can be done to determine that they are in fact moving?
A) Suspend a ball by a thread from the ceiling and measure the angle the thread makes with the vertical.
B) None-all experiments will give the same results that one would get when at rest on the ground.
