Question: I am walking down the street, when a fordf150, which was parked on a building exactly 79.8 feet in the air, is pushed and begins to fall towards me. Am I able to survive?
I'm not an expert in physics, but I can try to help you figure this out. Firstly, it might be useful to calculate how long it would take for the Ford F-150 to fall from that height. Using the formula for free fall: d = 1/2 * g * t^2, where d is the distance (79.8 feet), g is the acceleration due to gravity (about 32.2 ft/s^2) and t is the time it takes to fall. Rearranging for t, you get: t = sqrt(2*d/g). Plugging in the numbers: t = sqrt(2*79.8/32.2) ≈ 1.57 seconds. So, it would take about 1.57 seconds for the Ford F-150 to fall to the ground. Your ability to survive would depend on your reaction time, ability to quickly assess the situation and move out of the way fast enough. The average human reaction time to visual stimuli is about 0.25 seconds, but it could take longer in a stressful or unexpected situation like this. Assuming you react immediately, you would have about 1.32 seconds (1.57 seconds minus 0.25 seconds) to move out of the direct path of the falling vehicle. If you can sprint fast enough and clear the area where the vehicle is falling in that time, there's a chance you can survive. However, there's always a risk of injury from debris, so getting to a safe distance as quickly as possible is crucial.
