New physics problem: if one car is traveling Northeast at 5mph, and another is traveling Southwest at 23mph what time do they collide and are there any survives

You're never moving at all. Every object, including the world, is moving around you.

Your wife is driving 10MPH forward and the earth is moving 70MPH backward. When the car disappears, you'd remain motionless. Unfortunately, the earth is still moving backward and would feed you pavement at 70MPH.
im a big fan of the phrase "the earth will feed you pavement at 70 mph"

When you jump you instantly lose all of your momentum OP, that's why whenever both feet leave the ground you slam into the wall at 1000 mph as the Earth rotates underneath you

I felt like I was getting what you're all saying, but after reconsidering it I stand with my original point of view: You would tumble forwards, which means away from the car in the opposite direction. Your body has it's own momentum independent of the car. Simple as that, don't need pontification from GBS's finest.

Yeah OP, and by this same logic all you have to do to safely exit a moving vehicle is step out of it while walking 0 mph and you will end up just standing still no matter how fast it was going

No. Car is moving in a vertical line, and then my body would be moving horizontally if I went out the car door. I'm "cheating" by walking off the car in a straight line which is what I don't understand, or maybe you don't understand.

Hey OP what happens if you throw a ball straight up in a car going at 80mph? It goes up and down fine and doesn't smack you in the face right? That's because the ball(and everything else in the car) is also travelling at 80mph.

EDIT: Here's someone explaining how this works, you probably learned this in high school https://www.quora.com/Why-can-I-jump-in-the-airplane-cabin-without-flying-to-the-back-of-the-plane

u will travel in the same direction as the car and at the same velocity(minus how ever fast ur walking backwards) until wind resistance and gravity cause u to hit the ground
