Wait, even if it was uphill when you landed you would still go backwards (towards the car?)

immortal anime posted:Right, but a car will always be faster than a human. It's like the old paradox of what weighs more, a pound of feathers or a pound of lead? It tries to set you up into thinking they weigh the same, but lead has more density. Now apply this same thinking to a human vs a car, and the car will always be faster--but we're getting off track. I think that the human would still roll in the direction opposite of the car if they jumped. No one has shown me physical proof otherwise. That’s not a paradox. Weight and density aren’t the same thing. A pound of anything weighs the same as a pound of anything else, because the measure of the pound is defined. There will just be a greater volume of feathers to equal the weight of one pound versus a pound of lead.

Wife's right. While it might seem to you that you move backwards, an observer outside of your frame of reference would still see your position change according to car's velocity. It's kind of like jumping in a downwards elevator (try that at home!) Re: uphill. You probably won't be able to roll uphill, but that doesn't mean that you wouldn't be slammed at 70MPH into the hill, upon which your broken body will roll down if its steep enough. Jumping upwards out of falling elevator/hot air balloon is also not going to save you from the impact unless you're strapped to a rocket or something.

You're never moving at all. Every object, including the world, is moving around you. Your wife is driving 10MPH forward and the earth is moving 70MPH backward. When the car disappears, you'd remain motionless. Unfortunately, the earth is still moving backward and would feed you pavement at 70MPH.

immortal anime posted:I guess we can never really know, because there's no way to safely test it. No. We can never know because with cars you can only know either their speed or their location, but never both due to the Walter White uncertainty principle. If you walk off the back of a car you'll knock the local Higgs field out of it's current metastable state into it's true lowest energy state, and the resulting vacuum decay would overwrite all matter in the existing universe. It's why most localities have outlawed ghostriding the whip.

If it's of the same caliber, you might be able to find an easy online resource. It's about highschool physics/physics 101 level stuff. If it's got to do with any kind of movement, always remember that rapid acceleration is what's bad for your health. It's not falling that kills you, just the sudden stop at the end.

Bonus Problem: Basically I was thinking about how a bullet can slice through anything, like wood and steel. Then I was thinking about how karate masters can chop through wood without being injured. I think, like the bullet, it has to do with speed-therefore, if I went fast enough, we can just say "speed x" could I travel through a wooden barn without being hurt? Or even faster, maybe a brick wall? How fast do I need to go to be able to break through things, basically. See what I'm getting at? e:in addition, i understand maybe my skin would tear open or something--but maybe if i wore an injury proof latex suit or whatever--but maybe i dont need to if I'm going fast enough

This is similar to the old problem of what happens when a car drives up a ramp attached to the back of a moving truck (like the scene from Knight Rider). Say the truck is moving at 50 mph and the car is moving at 55 mph: does the car simply creep up the ramp at 5 mph, or do its spinning wheels catch onto the ramp and launch it forward? The former is what's correct. Mythbusters showed this a few years ago.

immortal anime posted:Bonus Problem: Basically I was thinking about how a bullet can slice through anything, like wood and steel. This is an easy one. You can do it with a bicycle on an 11 degree incline. The trick is to ride into the brick wall nude and covered in baby oil to minimize wind resistance and also minimize friction while passing through the wall. Make sure your mom takes video. Ha, I meant wife!
