Suppose the room in which you are sitting was magically transported off the Earth, and sent accelerating through the universe at 9.8 m/s2. Assuming your doors and windows are sealed and closed, how could you tell that you'd left the Earth?

Answer:

There is no way by which we can tell weather we are on the earth or we left the earth.

Step-by-step explanation:

Our body responses to acceleration alone when we accelerate upwards at
9.8m/s^(2) a fictitious force equal to our
mass* acceleration acts on our body which in this case of acceleration is same as our weight thus we will still feel the effect of gravity thus cannot say weather we left earth or are still there.
