All right... so the fly can keep it's life as long as the pull isn't so strong that it can't resist it. I figured it had something to do with inertia too...

Only in terms of its buoyancy (negligible, and ratio of this to total force does not change with acceleration, unless acceleration is sufficient to create pressure gradient). Force exerted due to air resistance is directly proportional to square of the speed of the fly wrt the air, so if it is to remain stationary then this can be ignored.Originally posted by Chowlett
Does that hold true even if the car does not contain a vacuum? Surely air effects will reduce the force the fly needs to remain stationary.12-17-10 Mohamed Bouazizi NEVER FORGET

More formally, if Salt Lake City is a limit point of the signs, then yes, it will take forever to get there.Originally posted by KrazyHorse
Depends on the placement of the signs...

However, given most road authorities can't make signs arbitarily thin or place them arbitrarily close together, you will eventually reach SLC unless they impose a speed limit of 0 or less.The church is the only organisation that exists for the benefit of its non-members
