Answer #1

If you were in the bus, you would remain in the same spot you jumped from, if you were say, on top of the bus, the bus would pass underneath you.

Answer #2

No, even if if was ontop of the bus he has the same forward momentum the bus has he would most likely land in the same if not very close to the same spot he leaped from

Answer #3

So if you’re in the bus you move forward with it?

Answer #4

Yeah, you’re in an enclosed space. But it gets more complicated if the bus is accelerating or decelerating I think. It’s been too long since I did physics XD I’m not sure about the on top of the bus thing now though, the guy below me might be right on that.

Answer #5

Read up on Newton’s Law, or try it and see.
