How long would it take a human being to fall from 32000 feet in the air to the ground from an airplane?

Question:


Answers:

Which is better the Bombardier Global Express (GLEX) or the Gulfstream G550 (G550)?

I takes a human body (170-lbs. average) 14 seconds to attain "terminal velocity" (maximum speed), which is 176 ft./sec or approx. 120 mph. The distance covered in that first 14 seconds is approximately 1800 ft. From there, the person continues to fall at 176 ft./sec over the remaining 30,200 feet, which would take another 2 minutes and 52 seconds.

What aircraft engines DON'T use the acceleration of an air mass (or gas mass) to generate thrust?


Total time (approximated) would be 3 minutes 6 seconds.

Who is the youngest pilot that has ever been promoted to a capitan of a B-727?

he would fall at 32 feet per second per second. Do the math.

There are too many factors to be accurate. Gravity works at (can't swear to this but I think this is right) 32 ft. per second, squared.

What's the highest someone can fall out of a plane into the sea without a parachute and still survive?

Speed increses by 1 meter per second every 0.1 seconds. Which is an increase of 10 m/s. The accerleration of a free falling object is a constant value of 10 m/s. Note that this value varies with latitude. The value is 9.81 m/s squared at the Earth's poles and 9.78 m/s squared at the equator.

Any one know about beechcraft v-tailed bonanza?

The acceleration of gravity is 32 feet per second squared. That means after 1 second you will be falling 32 FPS, after 2 seconds 128 FPS (32x2x2), after 3 seconds 288 FPS (32x3x3), etc.

I believe it takes between 14 and 15 seconds to fall 32,000 feet but in reality the air resistance might make that more (much more if you've deployed a parachute).

What are some great schools for getting your pilots license for helicopters and airplanes?

1 feet = 0.3048 m, so the vertical distance of free fall = 32000 ft. x 0..3048 m/ft.
= 9753.6 m

Using the following equation of motion of the body,

If I took flight from Singapore, does my plane would fly anywhere near Netherlands in its trip to the Denver..


we have s = u*t + (1/2)*g*t*t

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s (on earth)

Am I tall enough to reach the pedals in a helicopter?


feeding this given data into the above equation and neglecting frictional resistance due to air, we get:

Would you rather ride in a helicopter or a hot air balloon?


t = 44.592 seconds

When checking the wind speed/direction what does the +## at the end mean?


Hence the total time taken by the human being to fall from 32000 feet in the air to the ground from an aeroplane is 44.592.
(In a real life situation the airplane has a velocity of its own and that has to be taken into consideration, but I assumed rest to make the solution simple).

Aviation, is anyone flying the Cessna Mustang yet? hows it rate?

Why was the Boulton & Paul 'Defiant' not a very good fighter aircraft?

I agree with Devilish. All the physics work fine in a vacuum but the bottom line is a body will reach a terminal velocity in the atmosphere. My figures work out to about 3 minutes but there are variables to consider. Air currents and up or down drafts can alter the equation but body position may be the biggest. If the person falling has assumed a frog position, chest down with arms and legs extended like a sky diver the time can be increased slightly. And likewise, if they assume a dart position, head down, hands at there sides and feet slightly spread they can achieve speeds well above 120 mph thus shaving time off of the fall.

Hope that answers your question and thumbs up to Devilish, he lives in the real world...
