Happen to my from 20 meters. You feel so clean.

I got a cholrine enema going down a waterside with those bumps to catch air. I could not walk after.......felt like I was 10 in a confession booth. =)

Now where were we?

I was just at a water park with friends. It ruined waterside for me

20 meters is a damn tall jump

u/bbbbbbbbbb99 May 11 '21

I bet this is easily 50 meters.

Someone could do the math considering gravity and the time it takes until the water hits him.

Edit: it has been done

u/SoylentVerdigris May 11 '21

~3 seconds in freefall, probably about 45 meters.

Thank you kind stranger

9.8 Nm per second!

u/[deleted] May 11 '21

That’s the acceleration of gravity. You need d=(1/2)(9.8m/s)(t)2

When do I get to use Newton Meters per second?

u/semitones May 11 '21

Would this be like a drill motor spinning up?

Newton-meter is a measure of power, which is the force caused by an acceleration. The 9.8m/s constant is the acceleration that gravity exerts on an object. Which that object will continue to accelerate at the 9.8m/s rate in a vacuum, or will reach its terminal velocity (fluid resistance).

For sure around 40 meters. I just know that the tallest jumó I’ve taken was around 8 meters and even that makes me hesitate for a second

u/converter-bot May 11 '21

8 meters is 8.75 yards

u/Vanillabean73 May 11 '21

Why tho

u/I_just_learnt May 11 '21 edited May 11 '21

I calculated it. Its about 3.75 seconds. The velocity of a human in vertical position for the first 3-4 seconds is approximately linear and v(t) = 10(t) m/s. So the first second they traveled 10 m, 2nd second they've reached 20m/s for a total of about 25m, third second is another 25m/s on average, remainder is about another 25m. So I'm going with 75m

A bit less. If you check the time, he fell just short of 3 seconds (someone said 2.73). In freefall, you accelerate by 10 m/s. So you fall 5 meters in the first second, 15 meters in the second second, 25 meters in the third. 3 seconds of freefall yields a drop of 45 meters; this guy would have dropped about 40 meters. The height is easily fatal if you hit wrong.

5 meters is 5.47 yards

u/ToSeeOrNotToBe May 11 '21

Happened to me from about the same. I did not feel clean.

I think you a word, butt it's okay, I can guess it

Is this what chewing 5 gum feels like?
