    Fall velocity, strange answer.

    Estimates are fine as long as they're at least mostly realistic in this case. Thank you for your help. I got it from here.

    Fall velocity, strange answer.

    I tried that. I tried that a lot. The best I get is to find the cross-sectional area. I have no idea how to find the area on a freeform object. Would that just be looking from directly below? Could I use paint and pixels to feet as a proportion?

    Fall velocity, strange answer.

    Thank you. That was causing error, but now I am having a different problem. I have no idea what to use for area. Equations for shapes are easy, but what about for a human in various positions free-falling? (It's a fall damage calculator for a game) The main ones I'd need to know is kneeling...

    Fall velocity, strange answer.

    Homework Statement I'm trying to write a program to calculate Newtons of impact force from a fall given the weight, general size, shape, and density of an object. I want to take air resistance into account. I also want to take the density of the thing the object falls on into account. I am...
