As a skydiver I have jumped in the rain and it hurts as you fall onto the rain. People used to joke it was because the cartoon raindrop was pointy at the top. The reality is, you're falling at 200kph and the rain is 20kph so the rain is hitting you at 180kph!

Could you "stabilize" the penny's rotation by spinning it with the edge (like rolling a penny across the table, but down a skyscraper)? That would minimize the surface area and increase terminal velocity
demn
The barrel of a gun is "rifled" to spin the bullet which does what youre saying. Get a good spin on it and it should continue cutting thru the air until it runs out of spin juice
@@anderivative that's what I was thinking too, rifling stabilization. I'm just wondering if there'll be a Magnus effect on it, adding a horizontal component to the velocity and potentially affecting terminal velocity. It's probably also going to depend on how much you spin it, which makes it harder to test
Just rolling would not be enough. You'd have to spin it up to 6000 or more RPM imho. Bullets leave a gun spinning at more the 100,000 RPM.
@Robodude212 - if you are curious....
New Scientist had article about falling bullets... which can hit the ground speed greater than 61m per second (bullets traveling between 46-61m/s penetrate skin). Faster than this, and they will penetrate skull.
See injuries after celebratory gunfire in some places (Puerto Rico for example had 19 injuries in 2003, on New Year's Eve, and one person died; it was the same in places like Maryland, Ohio, Texas). All in all, mostly it is not fatal.
It was quite interesting article, from 2021. A while back The Guardian also had an interesting article about it. And there is of course Myth Busters, which had program about it, back in 2009.
All of my science teachers through all of my years in school were not nearly as cool as you guys in explaining this in the way that you just did and I thank you.
All of your science teachers didn't have funding to procure a helicopter and they didn't have admissions permission to execute these kinds of experiments in order to hold your curiosity.

Agreed. I felt like a kid watching Mythbusters again, and then noticed he's aged, then noticed I have too
Savage always loved the camera
You should watch his channel Adam Savage's Tested, then! It's mostly him making things, but he always has that same child like enthusiasm, and it's incredibly fun to watch, even if he's just making a wooden box.
You really should check out his channel, "Adam Savage's Tested"
He's done some cool stuff with Vsauce and of course has his own channel. Check him out, he's never lost his enthusiasm for testing, building and learning.
I miss Adam Savage man. The guy was such an icon of my teenage years. His energy is so infectious. Really happy to see this little cameo from him.

Right? Brings back so many memories!!
It's literally recreating a MythBusters episode since they already busted this myth in one of the earlier seasons.
The way he made sure his ballocks were protected had me cracked up. These were entertaining to watch tbf.
Even more amazing is how many times this has already been done and put on YouTube or TV is some manner.
Dont watch it then...
hadn’t seen it. This video is so much more than that,too
Mythbusters may have ended but the spirit of mythbusters lives on in channels like this and many others that have been inspired to think, question, and experiment everything they find.
Savage's enthusiasm for science is always very inspiring.

No Jamie Hyneman though.
Jesus Christ died for our sins, rose from the dead, and gives salvation to everyone who has faith in him. True faith in Jesus will have you bear good fruit and drastically change for the better! Those led by the Holy Spirit do not abide in wickedness.
God is ONE manifesting himself as THREE; the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit! Bless him! For these three are one.
As I am led by the Holy Spirit, nothing I state is a lie, but the truth of God. Anyone who tells you differently is misinformed or a liar. They do not know God, nor led by him.
Anyone who claims to be a Christian and is against what I am doing, and where I am doing it; the Holy Spirit does not dwell within them, they lack understanding. They know not God, read his word, and their religion is in vain. Do not hear them, they will mislead you, the lost cannot guide the lost.
When you trust in God and cast your cares (worries, anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts) upon him, they will be NO MORE!
Know that there is power in the name Jesus Christ! His name casts out demons and heals!
The world is wicked, evil, and of the devil.
I too, was a wicked sinner of the world before I opened my heart to God. I am living proof of God's work and fruitfulness! He is an active God who hears the prayers of his! God's children are set apart (holy) and righteous. The devil is a liar that comes to steal, to kill, and to destroy; that includes your relationship with God.
BUSTING THE BIGBANG MYTH
DEBUNKING BIGBANG: if the bigbang was real the 2nd planet's orbit would be normal and sat turns ring particles should've moved too fast for ANY gravity to pull them towards the planet. And thats not even taking into account the bigbangs hot temprature which shoulda vaporized anything. also there is too little antimatter in universe. if bigbang was real 99.999999999999999999999% of our universe should Not exist because antimatter destroys matter when it make contact with matter. the bang wouldve made much of it touch matter. so we see far less stars n stuff bc the so called bigbang wouldve destroyed nearly all of it. remember this comment if you truly wanna know if God is Real or not. read ALL of it, and hopefully know that JESUS CHRIST is the true God. screenshot it or keep this comment somewhere to read later. this should prove that Jesus is Real. JESUS CHRIST will Not make you take any mark, and He will punish the tyrannical ANTI Christ. The ANTI Christ will get a terrible wound, but cure himself to reinforce his deception to decieve the non-Christians and the lukewarm Christians. (look up lukewarm Christians on Christian websites and/or the Bible.) the AC will be world famous and very popular. he will make people take a mark on r hand or forhead. there will be a severe punishment for not taking it. The ANTI-Christ is a control freak, the opposite of Jesus Christ. Jesus uses His power for GOOD, NOT EVIL. This is BIBLE PROPHECY. Dont trust the false god, his goal is to get people into the lake of fire. he will go there too, despite all the FALSE MIRACLES HE WILL DO! Repent of your sins to Jesus Christ before its too late, you could die today!
As an airlift bombardment aircraft maintenance specialist in the USAF, I had a run-in with a slightly intoxicated loudmouth, which I soon found out was my new commander. Soon after, I was in his office getting my butt chewed for crossing a line without my hard hat in our hangar. He told me a penny thrown off the Empire State Building would go right through the human body. I corrected him. As a result of this episode, I was accused of having no military bearing and sentenced to three months on a military drill team. It was by far my favorite punishment I have ever had to endure.
Air resistance becomes work on a bicycle at ten miles an hour. You can ride forever at ten mph without wind or hills.
Twenty MPH is too fast to maintain for long if you are not in shape. If you go as fast as possible from the start, you will get gassed at twenty-five.
If you can draft a city bus or large vehicle, you can cruise at 25-35 for long distances.
A 35 MPH penny will only hurt somebody if it hits them right in the eye.
The rotor wash would go far beyond removing air resistance (drafting), forcing the pennies to go much faster than they would under ordinary circumstances.
Amazing video and I love the colab. I'm a big fan of Mythbusters. I think that in 17:50 there's a little mistake. Drag force also affects a bullet in its horizontal motion so its speed will not be the same one that it has when it was fired (don't get me wrong, it's still lethal, but not like a direct shot). Also the bullets fired by a gun have a lot of spin, so by the Conservation of Angular Momentum they tend to maintain their orientation much longer.
Its sometimes funny when you ask visitors to a site to wear bump caps/hard hats. They always look at you like "You for real?" Yes. Yes we are. I have had to work under people working at height and the amount of headaches I've been saved from by wearing a bump cap, is insane. Bolts, washers, tools. All it takes is for one guy to fumble one thing, which is easily done, and smack your day is ruined. Great content as always.

That bolded "smack" just messed me up, i turned my phone to look at it from so many angles and some of the other words started looking bolded, i was questioning life just by looking at it for some reason
A lot of people these days didn't grow up with Mythbusters so I love the idea of revisiting the kinds of myths and rumors that were tested
I would be so stoked if they made a reboot just revisiting different approaches to myths that were fun to cover.

This is actually a relief for me. When I was young, I was on the 9th floor of an apartment building and I saw this woman lying in the amenities on a beach chair type thing. I dropped an ice cube and tried to aim for her. I missed, but I've felt guilty about that ever since. I don't know what I was thinking that day. Just one of those spur of the moment horrible ideas you regret as soon as you do it.
Years ago I had at my grandmothers apartment a cheap battery operated plastic music box that played annoying 8bit music that broke and wouldnt shut up. It drove me batty and I hurled it off the 13th story terrace to the ground below to watch it shatter which was very satisfying. But it enraged my mom who said I could have killed someone. I doubted what she said but never knew for sure and always felt a bit guilty for that. It was a tiny and very light toy music box, like the size of a large box of matches, and it was the kind of thing you could destroy by just stepping on it hard enough with a shoe, so I doubt it would have likely KILLED anybody. But it probably would have been painful, especially if you were looking up when it hit you on the face.

As you can likely guess, the show cuts to Adam and Jamie going up the Empire State Building with a handful of cats. The rest is pretty indescribable, but we think you can imagine it does not end well for the cats. From what we can tell, no one actually made it to the end of the episode, everyone left the theater to get sick in the hallway rather than continue to watch.
When Discovery got wind of this, they immediately halted production of the show and would soon cancel it permanently, claiming the show had ‘run its course.’ Unfortunately, we now know the terrible truth.

So happy you used skydiving as an exemple of air resistance. It’s such an integral part of what we need to account for when doing formations, based on different body types and formation speed.
very true
Do skinny short people have to wear loose suits to match larger other divers? Do you get to the ground and discuss who needs to add more drag?
I’ve never once thought about this. I have often finish an underwater drive, and say I need more weight (lead) next time. Same same but totally different principle!
@@ibsn87 yes. Sometimes the lighter jumper will even wear a weight belt around their waist
@@hhhhh22Beans I thought you were taking the piss for a minute then I googled it. This had never once crossed my mind when watching formation flights, there you go, learning something new every day!
@@ibsn87 Suits with different fabrics, looser fit or tight fit, weight belts... There's a couple methods we use to match up to the same fall speed without forcing the body position too much.
I think the biggest actual danger in this scenario would clearly be someone dropping their phone off the Empire State Building lol. I'm assuming that is heavy enough to actually injure you, rather than a pen or penny.
when i was on there
i get really scared holding my phone near that long drop because i don't wanna kill someone lol
I mean at least the phone wouldn't be as damaged lol
40-60 joules or so, I'd guess. Hard to know its drag coefficient and all that fluttering. Just under enough to crack a skull, but if unlucky and all that force hits you with the corner of the phone, then enough force on the point to do serious damage.
Dropping a payphone off the Empire State Building would most definitely hurt someone assuming that the covariance properties remained unchanged throughout it's journey to the sidewalk below. Especially if this profound event happened during a warm month like July when the air is less dense.
Maybe If it was a Nokia then I would be worried.

In my college physics text book in the chapter on terminal velocity there was a cartoon image of a skydiver falling next to a mouse with no parachute.
