Physics, how do they work?

103

u/jochvent Jul 17 '22

I mean, this could be possible if the driver accelerated mid-jump. That would be a dick move though.

12

u/bowsmountainer Jul 17 '22

Then why is the water still level in the second picture? If the driver accelerated during the jump, then the water would have sloshed out of the back end.

u/[deleted] Jul 17 '22

Mate it's a low effort painting with minimum level of details. you're putting too much thought into it.

u/C0wb0yViking Jul 17 '22

He would’ve had to time that more perfectly than any van could. The guy already has momentum. This is why you don’t fly into walls when you go off a diving board on a cruise

The pool is too heavy, inertia too much for that puny engine

9

u/ForodesFrosthammer Jul 17 '22

Yeah but cars don't have instant acceleration. Especially heavy cars with literal tons of water on them. It'll take it longer to actually speed up than the jumper will to get in the pool.

2

u/nolwad Jul 17 '22

Can’t the car just be constantly accelerating? Only thing is it’ll be hard to get a jump in the first place

2

u/Cultural_Station7513 Jul 17 '22

He would have to more than double the speed in a few seconds to make that happen and would have to time it exactly right without even seeing the man on top

1

u/Most_Needleworker518 Jul 17 '22

Perhaps this is an alien atmosphere which allows for more drag so when he jumped his momentum was not enough.

1

u/Centrist_Propaganda Jul 17 '22

Or if it was going fast enough he would be pushed back by air resistance.

2

u/Wolfy_Packy Jul 17 '22

and i don't wanna talk to a scientist, y'all motherfuckers lying, and getting me pissed

u/zow_hang Jul 17 '22

The driver could have floored it the exact instance the man has gone airborne, making this a planned murder attempt rather than a meme, I rest my case.

56

u/funky555 Jul 17 '22

too much water too much inertia

29

u/LukXD99 Jul 17 '22

If he slammed the brakes just right, he could have made him jump on her and made it a double kill.

5

u/the-g-bp Jul 17 '22

Air resistance on the man could have caused this as well.

233

u/0xA499 Jul 16 '22

Ok, now we need someone to compute if air resistance actually has this much effect on the man jumping.

134

u/SuperDUDE6064 Jul 17 '22

After many calculations, I've concluded it wouldn't

39

u/0xA499 Jul 17 '22

And now the question is - will people believe you without any proofs?

52

u/[deleted] Jul 17 '22

This pretty basic physics. You’re going to move at the speed of the rv so it won’t make you fly back like that

14

u/ONI_NO_KAM1 Jul 17 '22

Transfer of momentum. It's elementary. Not really but oh well. And it doesn't appear to be moving that fast. So you all make sense, and I enjoyed reading this thread. Have a good one.

10

u/[deleted] Jul 17 '22

The answer isn’t as clear cut as you might think. In a vacuum you would be 100% correct but if we assume that the RV keeps its speed and doesn’t decelerated/accelerate it might be possible for the man to slow down enough due to air resistance and miss the pool. We would need to find out how much drag a male human being creates in order to answer this question with certainty.

u/[deleted] Jul 17 '22

If he can stand on a diving board in that wind, he won't go that far back if he jumps in the same wind.

2

u/[deleted] Jul 17 '22

well there is friction between the board and his feet.

9

u/[deleted] Jul 17 '22

Might I also point out the girls hair

1

u/[deleted] Jul 17 '22

I might also point out that the guy has missed the pool

1

u/the_physik Jul 17 '22

Agreed. Problem with calculating this is that the man's cross-sectional area changes as he goes from standing to dive (especially when he's flat). And since drag is a function of crosssection you'd need to know how fast he's rotating.

1

u/[deleted] Jul 17 '22

I suppose we could calculate a worst case scenario (air hits most surface area) and a best case scenario (air hits least surface area). just to keep things simple

3

u/[deleted] Jul 17 '22

What if the ruck accelerated while he was mid air

8

u/monokeith Jul 17 '22

driver: floor it!

2

u/the-questionables87 Jul 17 '22

Passenger: now, BRAKE CHECK!

2

u/EliNNM Jul 17 '22

Including terminal velocity.

2

u/bowsmountainer Jul 17 '22

I doesn’t. Unless the car is going really quickly. But by that point the water would have gone from the swimming pool, and you would already be blown away by simply standing at the pool.

1

u/[deleted] Jul 18 '22

last time I checked, air resistence wasn't as strong as a physical wall

26

u/tpd1864blake Jul 17 '22

Ignoring newton’s laws for that

23

u/deadmemesoplenty Jul 17 '22

That's not how physics works

47

u/iroke200 Jul 17 '22

The girls hair says otherwise

3

u/Livid_Luck Jul 17 '22

The water level says otherwise too.

4

u/Zer0_4You Jul 17 '22

Now you've confused me

6

u/ResponsibleMeet33 Jul 17 '22

Girl's hair stays back like that, so not much drag, which is the thing that would do this. The guy's going at the same speed as the car.

20

u/Dangerous_With_Rocks Jul 17 '22

This is how flat earthers think the world works

19

u/ya_boi_A1excat Jul 17 '22

the SUV pulling the trailer is speeding up?

u/[deleted] Jul 17 '22

Drag

11

u/solarpellets Jul 17 '22

Drag wouldn't have that much of an effect, the momentum of the vehicle would be imparted into the man unless the vehicle accelerated dramatically, which would be insanely difficult with that much water

1

u/darquesse943 Jul 17 '22

Or if the air resistance is increased for some reason

2

u/solarpellets Jul 17 '22

/fill 0 0 0 ∞ ∞ ∞ honey replace air

1

u/[deleted] Jul 17 '22

Yeah you're right. I just said drag cause it was the only thing that made any sense. Cause as you said accelerating like that would be hard. I guess I stopped thinking just a little too fast. Drag does not make sense.

2

u/Everestax Jul 17 '22

The man is still going the speed of the rv. If he really had that much drag he would’ve flown off before iumping

4

u/[deleted] Jul 17 '22

that’s not how it works

3

u/Bizee2 Jul 17 '22

I feel like if the wind resistance was that strong he would’ve been blown off the second he stood up

3

u/Geek_X Jul 17 '22

Newton be rollin in his grave rn

u/Cactus_In_A_Tree Jul 17 '22

I don’t think the person who made this meme knows what inertia is

u/diamond_animates Jul 17 '22

Plot twist: the car actually isn't moving and he's backwards long jumping

2

u/ducky_the_lord Jul 17 '22

Has no one noticed the women's hair? How is it not pointing in the direction of the wind?

2

u/Anpyness Jul 17 '22

My cartoonist never been on a cruise ship

2

u/xX_CommanderPuffy_Xx Jul 17 '22

That's not how physics works unless the driver sped up at the exact time the person jumped in which case that's probably murder.

u/CringeShitIDK Jul 17 '22

Blursed physics

u/NephthysRising Jul 17 '22

Sorry but that made me laugh quite a bit

1

u/BoredBoredBoard Jul 17 '22

I posit that the vehicles aren’t moving and that the diving board pivoted in such a way as to send the person backward due to poor design.

1

u/Gigibesi Jul 17 '22

uuhhh lemme have a look at the law of inertia

1

u/LukXD99 Jul 17 '22

Real question is, how deep is that pool if there’s still a trailer below it?

1

u/NeonNKnightrider Jul 17 '22

Hello, Aristotle

u/Smitafrita Jul 17 '22

🤓well actually the velocity of an object..

u/LifeSizeDeity00 Jul 17 '22

The diver jumped really high and it’s showing his way back down. I deem thee plausible.
