If you fill a car up completely with water, and then crash in to a wall going 110kmh, what will happen to the driver?

Stumped ya

He would drown.

Alright, you found a loophole.

Disregard asphyxiation, he has the ability to breathe underwater

>> No.5504448

Well, the density of water is much greater than air, so one would expect the water to resist his inertia forward at the time of the crash, although probably not enough to save him from the impact at a typical speed.

Also, wtf is a kmh

>> No.5504452

water would break the windshield, then he would hit the wall and die

This.

This. Don't forget how heavy water is. The inertia of the water would force it out of the windshield (path of least resistance).

There is no driver, the car is completely filled with water.

The water would leak out

Metric is nice if you like dividing things by 10 and stuff, but let's use the more practical imperial system for real world measurements please.

If you jump right before a elevator crashes you wouldn't get hurt right?

>> No.5504559

>>5504556
sure, if you have legs like a grasshopper.

>> No.5504561

Pretty much the same thing as if there's no water.

Take your cancer elsewhere.

$5 says OP read the xkcd what if "one big drop" in which whats his name explained that water is nearly incompressable and if there were a person in that drop when it impacted, they would be instantly compressed and killed, and he's trying to disguise it by using a car

>> No.5504995

You will have a wet, and dead, driver.
