If it finds its mark, the terminal velocity is zero.
For the Human Body, 124 mph (200 KPH).
That will slow the human down.
Sky diving, because sky divers are able to control their descent.
That varies, depending on the object. A massive object may take a long time to reach terminal velocity; a less massive object will reach terminal velocity faster. It basically depends on the object's mass, size, and shape.
Watch your velocity! The velocity delivered by the cannon determines the distance that the human cannonball will fly.
The fastest rate a human can fall is called terminal velocity. Terminal velocity is when the gravity force upon an object is equal to that of the wind resistance. The normal terminal velocity of a human is around 125 miles per hour.
For the Human Body, 124 mph (200 KPH).
Roughly 120 mph flat and stable. Head-down is much faster, but is not stable (it takes active control). Terminal velocity is when the gravity force upon an object is equal to that of the wind resistance.
That will slow the human down.
It depends. Surface Friction could vary. If a person was in the traditional parachute jumper freefall, it is slower and would never meet the terminal velocity of an individual falling through the air whereby his body is vertical.Statistics showthat a human falling through the air can reach up to speeds of 210mph (93metres per second) at the most.
Sky diving, because sky divers are able to control their descent.
Terminal velocity (top speed) for a human falling through the air is about 120mph. Even though gravity attempts to continuously increase velocity at a rate of 30 ft/sec for every second of fall, increasing air density prevents the increase.
That varies, depending on the object. A massive object may take a long time to reach terminal velocity; a less massive object will reach terminal velocity faster. It basically depends on the object's mass, size, and shape.
It will be somewherebelow 160 km from earth surface since average human terminal velocity is 160 km/hr. More detail calculation would be needed since at that height, gravity would reduce by 0.4 m/s2 and air is so thin that it had little friction and terminal velocity might be very high at that height.
Ants have a couple of things going for them, but mainly physics of airflow. In essence the terminal velocity of an ant in air is much slower than that of a human. Terminal velocity is the speed and which air resistance forces counter balance gravity and you do not accelerate (go any faster) anymore while falling. The terminal velocity of an ant is about 4 mph whereas a human is well over 100 mph. So an ant has much less of an impact speed when it hits the ground. The other thing (although minor after impact speed) that helps is an ant body is more deformable than a humans and able to absorb shock better.
Watch your velocity! The velocity delivered by the cannon determines the distance that the human cannonball will fly.
When an object is not accelerating or decelerating, it has a net force of zero.
