– Would I survive if I jumped off a collapsing building right before it hit the ground?

Question

Curious as to what would happen if I perfectly time it. Would I be safe? Lets say the building is 4 stories high

In: Physics

Answer 1

Somebody who has taken physics can do the exact science, but to put it in terms I understand:

– Building is falling DOWN at a speed of FAST AS FUCK
– You jump UP at a speed of SLOW AS FUCK

So, I don’t think the slow as fuck speed directed up is going to counteract the fast as fuck speed directed downwards very much.
