do you move forward or do you just stay there in the air? o.o

The train keeps moving forward as you fall back down.

Depends on the speed.

You fly away.

well, the train is irrelevant. If you jump in the air, you fall down. Obviously, you don't stay in the air, silly.

If you're inside the train you stay where you are. Because you're inside the train, you have the same forward momentum as the train, therefore you move forward as the train does. If you were on top of the train, you would fall back due to wind resistance.

It would so fun if you actually moved.

You land...

if u jump while on or off the train, you will NOT find yourself on the back of the train lol. When you jump, the momentum carries you forward. And as long as the action and reaction objects are touching, then they will move together. Just think of it like this. If you are on a commercial jet (usually 1000 km/hr i think) and you jump, you wouldn't crash at the back of the cabin lol

You have the same kinetic energy as the train when it's moving. You'll just move along with the train.

ur moving at the speed of the train while ur in the air so u will go up and land in the same spot on the train but u will still b moving towards ur destination... an object in motion (ur body) stays in motion until acted on by an outside force.

You will remain moving at the same speed throughout the course of your time in the air (neglecting air resistance), the same speed as the train was traveling at before your jump, and land at the same spot on the train if its velocity did not change while you were in the air. Don't jump during a turn, though.
