🤯 A visual physics lesson at 80 km/h.
Enthusiasts launched a man from a moving truck in the opposite direction - at the same speed the car was traveling.
The experiment spectacularly showed how relative speed works.
@nexta
PS: Don't do this near light speed without changing the formula. A few other practical problems might show up too

@nexta Physics in action, so cool.

@nexta I may be misremembering, but I think Mythbusters wanted to do something like this but it was judged to be too dangerous. This really is very neat!

@nexta I had to read this several times before I realised what you meant was it was the same speed as the truck was travelling, not the car

@nexta That’s faith in engineering.

@nexta 80-80=0. 80-160? That's something different.

Perfectly safe ... if all the math, physics, and engineering works perfectly. 🤨

@nexta I guess that solves that math problem. Now do it with trains.

@bodhipaksa @nexta IIRC they did it with something like a basketball, not a human. Otherwise pretty much the same though.

@nexta now do it at 400km/h from a jet, it'd only be like ~30G of acceleration

@nexta
I feel like I'd want to have full motorcycle safety gear just in case the velocity didn't match and you wound up unceremoniously yeeted into a slide
