The mass of the car and atmospheric drag have a negligible effect over short distances like this.

 

How much longer will you continue to state the obvious here?

 

You are stating the obvious, which nobody finds humorous.

 

Humor depends upon surprise and shock, etc.

 

Get back to me when you can shock me....

Tks!

Yawn...  You some how managed to turn support for your comment into an objection...  you are a child - no attempt at humour there either.

OK.

Good!

 

Now you are being humorous, and I, for one, enjoy it.

A few years ago, there was a similar incident in a Bangkok mall where the woman driver had a water bottle that rolled on the floor of the car and somehow got stuck on the accelerator or brake (or both) and the car went through a parking lot wall and dropped several floors. She died.

great retaining wall... bravo to you all the construction workers

 but yet another case if inadequate and inconsistant  reporting ... where's the "Lucky" plate number ?

Maybe attempted suicide, If so, this guy will have to think of other means. He could try top floor at Suvarnabhumi Airport. It has a high success rate. A miracle no one was injured when the vehicle met  the ground

crumple zone construction in the front of cars really didn't have head first crashes due to going over a garage railing,

Often a woman who leaves it in reverse after parking, gets in and forgets, only to accelerate the wrong way, they usually die. 

 

This can happen, not only to the fairer sex, but to men, as well.

 

Case in Point:

 

 

WRONG WAY....

Pedant alert!

 

For an object in free fall, m (mass) has no relevance - Galileo.

But I think your guesstimate of 30mph could be pretty close.

v_f = g * t would be the formula, but we can't calculate the time without knowing the height.

Guessing a 15m fall (1.75 seconds) would give 17m/s or 38mph.

 

You have the right idea, which is much more than can be said for GammaGlobulin, who is best left locked in his compound, as he subsequently stated. Not knowing t, we are better to use v^2 = u^2 + 2fs in the vertical direction, so u = 0, f = g and s = max 10 m coming down from the 3rd floor. That gives the impact velocity less than 10 mph.

Actually, mass does have relevance, unless we are talking about a perfect system, with no air resistance to muck up the calculations.

 

Unfortunately, in Thailand, there is some sort of atmosphere we must take into account.

 

But this is not what I was saying.

 

We CAN use F=ma to derive all the equations required to know how fast the car was travelling when it impacted the ground.

 

 

"I try to never leave my gated house, my compound." was the best thing you said. Next try to not write about stuff you don't understand. Will a fall of about 10 m in fractions of a second air resistance is unquntifiable and irrelevant.

Please enetertain me by showing how YOU CAN use F=ma to derive all the equations required to know how fast the car was travelling when it impacted the ground.
