If a fell from a plane which was flying at 30000 miles into the ocean, what would happen?

Question

Would I:

a - Distinegrate; or
b - How far into the sea would I travel;

and;

c - Would there be any chance of my surviving?

Answer 1

You mean 30,000 feet in altitutude.

The plane would be traveling at about 500 MPH.

Due to air friction, your body would slow to about 120 MPH and maintain that speed.

You would probably only go about 30-40 feet down into the water if you were in the right position.

You would not survive. The deceleration would at least destroy your brain and spinal chord.

Answer 2

If you are travelling at 30,000 mph and say your weight was 90kg you would release 8 billion joules of energy into the environment which would be like a small nuke going off!

If you fell from 30,000 miles then air resistance would slow you down to terminal velocity which is about 200mph. At that speed water in nice and hard. You would go splat, bits for you would bounce in the air and then fall back in to the sea. Some of which will float some of which will sink.

If you want to survive such a fall try decreasing your terminal velocity by the use, say, of a parachute!

Answer 3

You are not likely to survive but i can't be too sure, you'll have to try it and then update us.
But wait a minute, how does one fall from a plane travelling at 3000 miles into the ocean on a plane. Where is the plane, and how are the 3000 iles measured into the ocean. Is it the speed or height above the sea level.

Answer 4

Disintegrate and die immediately. The only good news is that
you would feel any pain. Note: if you fell from the plane at
speed mention, obviously there must have been a door or
passage for you to get through, and it is likely that the plane
would also disintegrate from the blast of incoming air, so you
would not be alone in this escapade! After the event, please
let me know what happened!

Answer 5

Just like jumping off a really high bridge, once you reach terminal velocity (max falling speed due to air resistance) that's as fast as you go. Chances of surviving are about 5%, if the bridge jumpers are an indication, but with many broken bones as water is almost as hard as cement at that speed. You would have to be picked up very quickly to have any chance of survival, if the fall didn't kill you outright.

Answer 6

the plane that flys at an altitude of 30 000 miles has not gone into service yet. If ever it does, it shall have its own specifications and that would probably include a space suit also by that time scientific developments may reach a level which would provide landing and dibgy capability.
So, good luck, but wait till then.

Answer 7

you would not disintegrate. You would be dead before you hit the ocean. When you would hit the ocean going at hundreds of miles per hour what do you think would happen to your body? It would be broken but you would not disintegrate, I have no idea of how deep your body would go into the water but that can be figured out by knowing where this event would happen and how heavy your body is. If you extended your arms and legs and tried to fly like a bird (jumpers do this) then it would slow you down somewhat.

Answer 8

150 feet into the sea, no chance of surviving and you would probably be dead due to the low temperature at 30000 miles or how about re-entry back into earths atmoshere, you would just bounce off so no need to worry about the sea.

Answer 9

I think you mean feet. But it would disintegrate on impact into the ocean with very little chance of anybody surviving.

Unless it was a "controlled" crash and you had very good [read lucky] pilots. Even then it wouldn't be a health situation.

Answer 10

You'd certainly die.

Hitting the water from that height, you'd be travelling at over 100miles per hour...It would be the same as hitting a brick wall.

In the style of Yoda..... Fish food you'd be Hmmmmmm
