What Happens When You Jump in an Airplane?

What happens when you jump inside an airplane? Neil deGrasse Tyson and comedian Chuck Nice explain the physics inside moving objects and why we don’t seem to notice what speed we are traveling at.

Why do you land in the same place when you jump up and down in a moving airplane? We explore physics of moving systems, acceleration, deceleration, and why you want to wear your seatbelt during takeoff and landing.
