Relative motion Memes

Physics teachers would absolutely LOVE this thought experiment! It's basically Newton's Third Law in action with a splash of cartoon physics. If you jump up inside a moving vehicle, you maintain the same horizontal velocity as the vehicle (thanks, inertia!). But in cartoon logic, you'd either fly backward (left panel) or stay in place while the ambulance drives away (right panel). The reality? You'd just land back in the pool because you're already moving at the same speed as the ambulance. Conservation of momentum isn't just a good idea—it's the law! 🚑💦
