Yes, but consider an apple versu-never mind, the comic advanced. XD
The TV I was looking at was for a flat, belly-first fall. TV for someone falling head-down is nearly 300 mph.
What about if it’s fired or thrown at a speed faster than terminal velocity? OR if Scootaloo’s body is less aerodynamic than whatever is also going down?
… it took me ten minutes to find a picture because I forgot the name of the damn position. ¬_¬
Well done :D
Weight is just the effect of gravity on an amount of mass. the acceleration remains the same no matter how much mass there is. Force = mass x acceleration, so the more mass, the more force something hits with (because acceleration due to gravity is always the same) Density is just how much mass is in a volume, meaning a denser object will hit with more force, but not any faster.
Wind resistance is a force pushing upwards against a mass as it falls, so the less force a falling object exerts against the air underneath it (I.E. the less mass and/or velocity it has), the more its acceleration is slowed, though terminal velocity still applies as long as the downward force is at all greater than the upward force. This means that as long as they’re high enough, Scoots will still eventually hit max speed, which is 122 mph in a free-fall position (give-or-take) for an average person. Let’s say scoots can reduce her weight to about half, maybe a little less (which is about what I was thinking when I conceived the idea), then her TV would be reduced. The speed at which things accelerate doesn’t change, it’s just the TV for any given object that becomes different. So if an apple and a bowling ball were dropped from 3 feet up, they’d hit the ground at the same time. Being dropped from, say, 3 miles up, the bowling ball will keep accelerating after the apple has reached it’s TV. Even a feather will be falling at the same speed as the bowling ball, but only for a fraction of a second, as it’s mass-to-surface area ratio is so high that it reaches its TV almost instantly.
Terminal Velocity is Asymptotic, and I don’t know how to do all the maths involved, but basically just because her weight is reduced by half, doesn’t mean her speed is reduced by half. I’m going to estimate a minimum impact of about 70 mph, which is still more than more than enough to kill someone on a full-body inelastic impact.
…my nerd is showing, isn’t it?
That’s not quite true. I’m sure others could say it better, but that experiment about what I thought was a feather and a bowling ball was because of a vacuum. In our world, mass, weight and air resistance must be accounted for. A bowling ball will probably hit the ground faster than an apple because of it’s weight, and the fact that it’s denser. Also important though is the way it falls. Remember that a person and an apple won’t hit the ground at the same speed, but without changing weight(much) or density, a person with a parachute will hit the ground softer because of the massive air resistance, so shape is important too. That’s why a person diving headfirst and a person falling splayed out will fall at different speeds.
lowering her weight does not change her speed. Remember, a bowling ball and an apple dropped from the same height hit the ground at the same time. Didn’t you plebs watch Bill Nye?
Yes, it is delicious.
And I think we can both agree that second part wouldn’t happen. Equestria-rules n’ all: It would be your DESTINY to miss any and all shots. In fact, if there was a rally going on below the helicopter, you’d likely attempt to shoot, then drop the gun and have the propeller blades fling it to Celestia-knows-where.
… As well as any other weapons you may have.
Scootaloo falling into a helicopter? Delicious! I mean, I’d shoot the ‘copter’s engines within a second, but still: DELICIOUS!
In fact, depending on Bakuhaku’s way to treat pegasi in the air, they might even be able to chat about the fall for a few more pages worth of panels before Rainbow does anything.
… Unless, of course, Scootaloo falls into the Berrycopter
… Just sayin’, that could get… messy.
found itAh yes, one would say is that she’s Falling for Rainbow Dash.
