No. You're either getting tripped or tazed and zip tied into a seat for running
I think I’d say the following
1. You are certainly “moving” faster than 570 mph relative to the earth.
2. You are certainly NOT “moving” faster than 570 mph relative to the plane you are inside of.
3. By using the term “running”, to me that implies the relative comparison is to the surface to which you are running on. Which is the floor of the plane. So I think you’d have to say that you are not “running” faster than 570 mph. But it all depends on how you define “running.”
Like you said, it's relative to the reference frame. If the reference frame is the airplane, you are just running at your normal speed. if your reference frame is the earth, you are running faster than 570 mph.
Right. You're running the same speed you always run. You're moving 570+ mph relative to the earth. You're also spinning around the Earth at about 800mph, going around the sun at about 67,000 mph and going around the galaxy at about 500,000 mph.
The real question is if you run from the front of the plane to the back are you going slower than 570 MPH?
Similar question, but different:
If an 18-wheeler is driving 60 mph, lowers a ramp from the rear, and a car drives into the trailer at 65 mph, does the car ease onto the trailer at 5 mph (the car's speed relative to the trailer) or does it drive on at 65 mph (the tires' rotational speed relative to the floor of the trailer) and plow through the end of the trailer?
We've all seen KITT perform this task flawlessly on Knight Rider, but what would happen in the real world?

I think Street Hawk defied all theories. You just ramp out that bad boy and start shooting missiles from your motorcycle at the first thing you see
I'd say you're running 5 mph but moving 575mph until you hit the cockpit door. Then you're moving directly to jail.
Umm, they just insulted all Knight Rider fans by using a Camaro in that experiment. 17 Chevy. They need a Screaming Chicken to conduct the real experiment, but it would probably just use the ramp to jump right over the truck. PONTIAC FTW!!!
That 5.0L V8 managed to pump out a heart-stopping 190 HP.
I guess the Chevelle SS was even too hot for Michael Knight**
A lot more than Rhode Island, but less than China. Depends how deep you start your removal cut.
I did know the basic concepts, but yeah. Google helped a lot.
117,051,200,000,000,000,000,000 tons, assuming to the core of the Earth, of course.
The biggest motor you could get in the Trans Am in 82 had 165 hp. Most of them had the piece of junk305 that only had 145 hp.
I mean it is all relative to the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow
Yes you are and anyone that says otherwise obviously didn’t score very well on the ACT. Loser
