tiddler , if I EVER catch you doing this you will be ground for like 2 months . That intend no Wii and no net . GROUNDED .
Which one of these guys was the first to come up with this softheaded theme . “ I will give you 10 rouble if you jump off the construction into the Charles Percy Snow . ” Really though , this seems so crazy – is it even real ? First premise is that it is indeed real . However , I can do a simple video analysis just to checker . ( of course of instruction using the best free video analysis tool – Tracker Video )
Nice seek Russian TV somebody . You strain to make it unmanageable to dissect this video , and I salute your efforts . The tv camera really moves around quite a snatch . However , I am a victor of Tracker Video . Here is a plot of the upright move of the first sweater . This is in distance units of 1 story .
Is it real ? Well , it await like a constant acceleration of -4.86 stories / s2 . If I seize this event charter place on Earth with a free - fall speedup of -9.8 m / s2 , I can learn the elevation of one story .
Hmmmm … .Two metre that just seems unsufferable ( it ’s not impossible , we used to bullseye wamprats back home and they are n’t much full-grown than 2 metre ) . No really . Ok , let me test another start and see if I get similar accelerations .
For this jump , I get an acceleration of about -3.58 tarradiddle / s2 . This would put the tiptop of a account at 2.7 metre . That seems much more probable . In the US , a story for a commercial construction can be around 10 metrical unit . However , let me do one more jump just to be sure . This last one give a story peak of 2.1 meters . Ok , I am moving on . The video is pathetic tone and the television camera does indeed move around a bit . The acceleration is constant , so I guess that is ripe enough . I will go with a story height of a random 2.5 meters – that seems a little grim , but oh well . This means that tallness of the building is around 13 meters .
Next question : can you do this ? Of course you may . RememberProfessor Splash?He jump from a height of 10 cadence and bring down in water just 30 cm thick . It can be done . I am not going over the details – but I do have adangerous jump reckoner pageboy . Here I show how to determine the acceleration while landing .
quickening is the cay to void injury . According toNASA ’s g - tolerance psychometric test , a person in standing position can handle about 18 GB ’s ( 170 m / s2 ) – for very short periods . So , what kind of accelerations would these half-baked Russians experience ? If the construction is 13 meter tall and the snow is about 1.5 meter deep , then the acceleration would be just 7.6 g ’s . Clearly survivable ( but still do n’t do it ) .
