[Anonymous No.1277268]

[Anonymous No.1277262]

[Anonymous No.1277278]

It sounds correct but I'll wait for another opinion.

this is just like how you can survive a free falling elevator by jumping at the last second

[Anonymous No.1277308]

Can't work. You are gonna hit the ground at the same speed the house is, probably resulting in your death. You are probably safer because you aren't in the house, but still probably dead.

but you dont hit the ground when it is going full speed dumbass

That obviously doesn't work because you are still *in* the elevator. Dumbass.

bump

[Anonymous No.1277337]

from mythbusters:
>"The jumping power of a human being cannot cancel out the falling velocity of the elevator; the elevator car impacted at 53mph, while a human being can only jump at around 2 or 3mph, not enough to make a significant difference in the impact force."
elevator = house

> implying the house wouldn't be falling slower because of air resistance

Here you go OP, I drew it out for you so you can more easily understand inertia.
