Physics and the movie "Passengers"?

Question

Physics

1. The ship is moving at a speed of 0.5 light. When people jump from it into outer space, the ship continues to move. Shouldn't they be pressed against the hull on a tight cable?
2. Jim throws a shield in one direction, and he starts moving in the opposite direction, is this normal?

Answer 1

Shouldn't they be pressed against the hull on a tight cable?

Should not - there is no friction.

And here's how it looks in reality - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v =gG0e5LvzOqY
I didn't watch the movie, but from the point of view of physics the described situations are quite normal.

Answer 2

1. If there were forces or circumstances that could press them to the body, they would be torn / flattened / pierced at such a speed. If no forces start to act on them (aerodynamic drag, gravity, recoil from firing from a blaster), and the ship does not accelerate, slow down, that is, does not change speed, then they will continue to fly with the ship at a speed of 0.5s
2. The Law of Conservation of Momentum predicts such behavior in an isolated system. By the way, rockets work on the basis of this law. Theoretically, it is even possible to create a rocket that will fly into space by discarding shields
