Can Spiderman Make It?

Question

Spiderman discovers a ticking bomb in a warehouse, with exactly 1 second left on it. He needs to escape from the warehouse before it blows up. The wall is 9 meters from him, is 20 meters high, and the open skylight in the ceiling is 10 meters from the wall. Spiderman is capable of accelerating at 72 meters/second² on the ground, wall, or ceiling, as well as leaping from either the ground to wall, or wall to ceiling, or ground to ceiling, or any combination. However, during a leap, he travels in a straight line only as fast as he was running at the time of the takeoff. Can he make it in time?

Spiderman is so fast, ordinary gravitation may be ignored.

And Spiderman could also just wait for the bomb to blast him clear through the skylight and to safety But, uh, his velocity during any flight is whatever the speed he was travelling prior to takeoff.

Acceleration of 72 m/sec² does not mean Spiderman is instantly capable of speeding at 72 m/sec. It takes a full second for Spiderman to achieve that speed.

Just a tad more scrolling...




































Ok so he does not have a second to reach 72m/s^2

can he reach 21.6m/s in 0.3s?

or 7.2m/s in 0.1s?


(21 meters,one horizontal to get to21.6m/s and then jump 20m up)

21/21.6=0.98s

Flash Gordon on the other hand would have had time to come in, take Spiderman outside, come back in, whistle a bit and leave!
