If the vehicle maintained a constant velocity and there was no air resistance, the diver would enter the pool.
In the real world, air resistance would cause the diver's velocity to decrease relative to the vehicle and thus the second panel is a probable outcome.
I don't think you can assume constant velocity. 16 forward movement lines on the top vs 13 on the bottom so it's moving at 81.25% speed in the bottom compared to the top.
Pretty sure speed lines increase logarithmically with speed, not linearly.
Does this account for the presence of speed holes?
African or European style?
You don't have to quote the entire reply for them to know what you're responding to lmao
Yeah, air resistance and friction from the road are the primary reason why the car's engine has to keep running.
The diver would feel the same wind while in the air as while standing on that elevated diving board. He would recognize the strong 70Mph wind, and jump forward to counteract it.
Got it, do not attempt while inside the atmosphere
I doubt they are fast enough to blow him that far off. My bet would be that he falls flat on the middle of that board.
Idk, have you ever put your hand out the window of the car, going 60k/h? That's just 50 sq.cm of air resistance... Imagine a whole body's worth
