So, not quite terminal velocity! And he is not screaming; as he is falling, you can hear him saying
âDonât sweat, donât cry, we donât need no wings to flyâŚâ
I donât know enough about his cross-sectional area to compute the speed if air resistance is taken into account. But I can say that if we accounted for air resistance his body would land before his spit.
Indeed. Either way, this adds up to be a bad day for the Biebs!
Air resistance is a pain. Not only do you have to take into account density differences due to altitude, which would admittedly be negligible in this instance, but you also have to account for the effects of wind, updrafts, his clothing, the position of his body as he falls⌠basically impossible without the aid of dedicated software.
Good day for the rest of us though!
And thatâs before you even mention the coreolis effectâŚ
Nerds. . .
True, but we could go 'round and 'round over that point⌠
