Based on the width of the door, I get the diameter of his spherical body to be about 0.55 meters (I measured his horizontal girth). The only thing that is the same in both worlds is the scale of Mike. Now, to get the acceleration in Paris (you can see the Eiffel Tower in the background) I need to scale this scene also.
Using just the last two data points, I get a vertical speed of -15 m/s. It's also possible that the door is smaller than I estimated.īefore looking at the motion in Paris, let me also look at the vertical speed of Mike as he enters the door. Of course, it's possible that actually isn't Earth. I would expect this to be -9.8 m/s 2 if this were on Earth. This gives an acceleration of -68.2 m/s 2.
By fitting a parabolic equation to this, I can get the acceleration (it will be twice the 'A' term). There are only a few data points in this motion.
