A man steps off a diving platform lands in the water below. If he were to miss the water and land on the concrete, his change in momentum would be the same as if he landed in the water. Why is the change in momentum the same for both situations?

i guess the game developers wanted to give off a more gamey/cartoony feeling without trying to copy fortnite exactly

2b2t

explanation:

2b2t

initial speed when it is dropped is 150 ft/s

now at the same moment the acceleration due to gravity is perpendicular to its velocity

so as we know that

now we have centripetal acceleration a = 32 ft/s^2 as its perpendicular to velocity

while tangential acceleration at the same moment will be zero

so

now radius of curvature is given as

so the radius of curvature just after it is dropped is 703.125 ft
