Last day my friend told me that there are places where you fall for three months from Everest. What's your thought on that. So I made this post to check out that "Myth".
Data we will need
- Everest's height = 8,848m ( m = meters) [From the top to the very bottom level]
- If a man fell from that top, he'd fall due to the gravitational acceleration ( g.acceleration = g)
Lets do the MATH
S = Ut + 1/2 at^2S = distance fell
U = Initial speed/velocity , in this case it's zero. If some one gave a pull the falling would be even shorter ( So i Use zero as the initial speed.
a = acceleration. In our case it's the gravitational acceleration which equals to "g". We can use 10 as the value of "g"
t = Time it took for the falling. We do this little math to find out this time.
S = Ut + 1/2 at^2
8,848 = 0*t + 1/21* 10^2 [^2 = power of two]
t = 42.06 s.
[ I used some simple Maths here, It is the equation you find in "Motion" of physics. ]
What? Yeah. It's quite unbelievable, but it just takes 42.06 seconds to fall from the top of the Top of the Everest.
Less than 1 minute. Interesting huh?
