Where did I land
We all know that the Earth is rotating at a rate of 465m a second and so we are. Now, if I jumped for a second into the air (from the moment I started to jump and till I reach the surface of the Earth), what distance (in meters) did I cover for that 1 sec?
Please support your answer by a valid reasoning...

We are moving with the same velocity as earth so relative velocity is 0. Therefore the distance covered is 0.
