Woman commits (supposedly) suicide...

[02DyeFour]

whoa. what? no, i'm saying it took her 3 seconds to fall

 

[02DyeFour]

I'm not sure if you calculate "deacceleration". That would give you a negative number thus a negative force....

Um right, which is what we're looking for. How long it took her to fall has no bearing on the force it took her to stop. Deacceleration is the same as negative force, and guess what, it all feels the same on your face.

deaccerlation

wow, some big equations in here.
a friend of mine while living in philly saw a lady jump from 20 - 25 floors... said it looked like she bounced about a foot. he and his girl walked over and he said her head cracked open and some brains were spillin out. no blood from anywhere else.

The skin is pretty flexible. Can take a good deal of pressure, but i think the skull cracking open punctured something and that is why the brain oozed out.

Dear Internet,

It's Nick again. I just wanted to thank you again for making it so i can never feel sick hearing, reading, watching or talking about people committing suicide and splitting open on the sidewalk.

You're a peach,

Nick.

A negative force would be pushing UP against the body, which is what the ground would do to her.

for the love of god

Deacceleration

IS NOT A WORD.


deceleration... seriously.

 

[02DyeFour]

sure?

deceleration... seriously.

This is a physics discussion grammarian.

Seriously, you are wrong. So back to the physics.

 

[02DyeFour]

so what i have learned in physics is wrong? Now, f = m(deacceleration)

thats awesome hahaha

 

[Yaj Yak]

grammarian lol wtf is that. that word is almost as fun to say as deacleration

 

[Turk]

Here's the equation


The force hitting the ground is again F=ma. In this case, the acceleration is:
aimpact=(0-vimpact)/timpact

Fimpact=ma --> F=m(-vimpact/timpact)

turk should stick to medicine...

It's the same fucking thing, except that the velocity is NEGATIVE.

seriously. show me one physics book in the universe that uses that word

it is not proper at all...

its seriously deceleration

 

[Turk]

How much money do you fuckers want to put on this. My math is right. You guys are wrong. F = MA Or force = Mass (change in velocity when she hit the ground/time it took her to stop)

 

[Turk]

seriously. show me one physics book in the universe that uses that word

it is not proper at all...

its seriously deceleration

I don't give a fuck what's proper at this point, you guys aren't understanding the equations.

 

[Yaj Yak]

i love typing a word into google and google correcting it for you.. even though its supposedly a word. lol

lol ur upset.

 

[Turk]

When measuring the force used to stop something, you need to know the amount of time it took to stop the object and the change in velocity, or in other words, the negative acceleration, or as I like to call it, deacceleration.

here....

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acceleration

We don't know enough.

 

[Yaj Yak]

what exactly are you guys trying to discover again?

how fast she hit the ground? how long she was falling for? what was it...


i was giggling too much at grammarian and deaccerlation

I know we don't know enough. To solve this we need to know the max speed at which she was falling, and how long it took her to come to a complete stop once she made contact with the ground.
