What is the maximum velocity of a falling person?

The maximum velocity of a falling person in free fall is terminal velocity, which is about 120 mph (200 km/h). This occurs when the force of air resistance equals the force of gravity, resulting in a constant velocity.


What is the name of the force that slows down a man falling down with a parachute?

Air resistance, also known as drag, is the force that slows down a person falling with a parachute. This force acts in the opposite direction of the person's motion, creating friction between the person and the air molecules.


How far can a person lean over without falling?

The distance a person can lean over without falling depends on their balance, core strength, and body alignment. Most people can lean over about 45 degrees before needing to adjust their center of gravity to prevent falling. Practice and training can increase this limit.


If a cable snaps in an elevator and starts falling will the person inside float?

No, the person inside the elevator will not float. Objects in freefall experience weightlessness, but the person will still accelerate downward due to gravity. The experience will feel like weightlessness, but they are still subject to gravity's pull.


Does a person falling from great heights die when they hit the ground or before impact?

When you hit the ground. While they are falling they are in the air, and falling in and of itself will not kill you. The impact will always kill you -- unless you have a heart attack during the fall.
