Question - My 10 years old son wants to know If a person jumps (or
throws an object straight up) inside of a moving object (plane, train,
others) traveling fast will it land on the same spot theoretically?
(Assume time in the air to be long).

Yes, if the vehicle is in straight-line, unaccelerated motion the object
will land in the same spot from which it was launched. Try it in your car.
Then try it with the car accelerating or braking.
If you think about it, we are moving on the surface of the earth. ( This
motion is unaccelerated and almost straight line.) When you through a ball
straight up it will come straight down to the original position.
This is related to Newton's first law of motion - inertia. You might want
to read more about it.

=====================================================
The best thing is to try this yourself. After all, that is how people
figured all this out in the first place. But to answer, if the car is
going along steadily, then the ball will never "know" (windows rolled up
of course). But if the driver hits the gas just as you throw it up,
then things might be a bit different, the ball might fall behind, and
seem to come back towards the rear of the car.
