Your wife seems nice, I don't think I could marry a mentally retarded person.

try this op: stuff yourself down into a canon, then stuff that canon facing the opposite direction down into another canon. then fire both simultaneously

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

Are you going North or South at the time?

What if you jump from a plane without a parachute but then jump really fast just as you hit the ground

Thank you. This is actually starting to make sense. I have another physics problem, but a lot of the people in this thread are being mean and I'm kind of too scared to ask it now. Again, thank you.

There are no stupid questions

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

the math is complicated, but i think if we stuffed you into a cannon and shot you at the wall at point blank range it would do the trick

Only one way to find out, chief

experimentation really is the only way in these scenarios. like how do you see if a full grown man is strong enough to stop a lathe?

New physics problem: if one car is traveling Northeast at 5mph, and another is traveling Southwest at 23mph what time do they collide and are there any survives

I think you're half right op, your legs and hip would tear off and travel forward but your torso would go backwards

In time??
