Re: Man Hanging from Ledge Falls to His Death

It took about 6 seconds for him to hit the ground. That means:

h= 1/2 (9,81)*12
h= 177,7 m /2
h = 58,86 m.

Vf = V0+g*t
Vf = 0+9,81 m/s*6 s
Vf = 58,86 m/s = 211,8 Km/h = 131,6 M/h

Fucking brutal
h= 1/2 (9,81)*36
h= 353,1 m /2
h = 176,5 m.

My bad.
Ravendash's physics logic is correct, but the calcs are a little off because the freefall time is estimated. There can be a lot of height variation in one second of freefall, so it is more precise to estimate the building height instead, as follows:

The building height is 34 stories including the roof story. I call his fall 33.5 stories since he was dangling from the roof story. So, the distance of the fall was 33.5 stories x 14ft/story = 469 feet.

The time of the fall was (469ftx2/(64.4fps/s))^0.5 = 5.40 seconds.

His speed upon impact was 5.40sx32.2fps = 174fps/(5280ft/mi)x3600sec/mi = 119 miles per hour.

That fall was long, but that landing noise was incredible...

A reminder of how rapid 1g acceleration actually is! 0-60mph in 2.5sec and then on from there

You have to wonder what he's thinking as soon as the ledge slips between his fingers
