"Once a body is in motion it will stay in motion unless acted upon by another force"

If you were to jump at the Earth's equator (and did not take air friction into effect - aka in a vaccuum) you would land in the same spot you jumped. If you took air friction into account you would land just a little bit off your spot - a negible bit east of your spot.
