I'm wondering if the fact that it's a hummingbird matters. Those ****ers can change direction so fast, I wouldn't be surprised if this isn't actually a physics question.

The birds relative velocity is matching your cars...so when you slow down suddenly, the bird will continue it's forward motion at whatever speed it was moving.

An object in motion tends to stay in motion.

No because the penny is already going 600 mph.

Flip the penny up in the cabin, accelerate to 600 mph, then where does the penny go?
