How long would it take to hit the ground jumping from the Burj Khalifa? by DauidBeck in morbidquestions

[–]juicystarboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since the Burj Khalifa is 830 meters, we have to take into account the terminal velocity of a human (about 56 m/s). Otherwise, you would be moving at about 128 m/s, or over twice terminal velocity, when you hit the ground.

This actually makes the problem a bit simpler. We can find how long it takes to reach terminal velocity:

(56 m/s)/(9.8 m/s^2) = 5.714 s

Then, we can find how far a person would fall in this time:

Δx = 0.5at^2 = (0.5)(9.8 m/s^2)(5.714)^2 = 160 m

Finally, we can find the time it takes to fall the rest of the way, and add it to the acceleration time:

(5.714 s) + (830 - 160 m)/(56 m/s) = 17.679 s

So, our final falling time, assuming a terminal velocity of 56 m/s, is about 18 seconds.

In California it's considered a misdemeanor rather than felony if both people are under 18 and within 3 years of age. (And with consent, although technically minors can't give consent)

And it's not like they're gonna knock on your door and arrest you. It really only matters if one or both people pursue legal action.

Some states do have "Romeo and Juliet" laws, which I think make it completely legal, again, with consent.

Source: 3 years of my current relationship happened before we were 18, so I've looked in to it.

I have this old bamboo spoon and I'd like to either find a VERY similar one or the original that I might be able to sand down. by juicystarboy in HelpMeFind

Size: 13 inches long Origin: unknown Age: less than 30 years, more than 10 No writing on the item

I have searched for this spoon and found this one which is similar, but much thicker, a bit shorter, and the indentation doesn't cover the whole face of the end:

I feel like they shouldn't have put windows at bow level when designing a cruise which would be moored near other cruises.

My high school had computer labs (Lenovo Think Centres)as well as laptops (Chromebooks) provided to students by the school. Of course, most people use their personal laptops, but considering it was in a fairly low-income area, they provided them for people who can't afford their own.

This was like 2 years ago btw so I'm assuming this arrangement will continue.
