I failed all my science courses, I don’t understand much about science but why doesn’t the water just… move like when you jump in normally?
In: Planetary Science
I’m not exactly a science guy, but what matters is the speed you’re moving, in this case, falling, and the fact that water has resistance, sure it’s way less than concrete, but way more than air, otherwise swimming wouldn’t be a thing, we’d just walk through water without being slowed.
One practical example i have in mind, next time you go at sea or a pool, raise your hand up high and slap the shit out of the surface. As hard and as fast as you can. You will see that your hand will be drastically (and maybe painfully) slowed when hitting the water.
