January 18, 200917 yr http://www.mentalfloss.com/blogs/archives/21794 Gravity is force which is responsible for keeping us on the ground. It is also the force that prohibits us from jumping 50 feet in the air. However, in Mario’s world, gravity does not quite work that way. Mario is able to jump 5 times his height and fall with accelerations that would be deadly to humans. We will find Mario’s acceleration due to gravity by using the formula s = s0 + v0t + ½ at2 where s is the distance he falls, s0 is his initial distance, which is 0, v0 is his initial vertical velocity, which is also 0, a is his acceleration due to gravity, and t is the time it takes for him to fall. When we solve this formula for a, we get a = 2s / t2 Its funny what people do with so much time on their hands. I have no idea what all of this means, but I would be interested to see what some of the people on this site think about it who are much smarter than myself(Balta Im looking at you)

January 18, 200917 yr I imagine Mario has a concussion history similar to Troy Aikman with the amount of times he smashes his head on bricks. Why did Mario fall as fast in the water as he did on land?

January 19, 200917 yr There's no quantum physics there, fwiw. That's just basic Newtonian mechanics. edit: Here's the page with quantum physics: http://www.mentalfloss.com/blogs/archives/12043 And a more in-depth explanation from the guy who actually did it: http://msm.grumpybumpers.com/?p=20 Edited January 19, 200917 yr by StrangeSox
January 19, 200917 yr I wouldnt exactly turn to SMB for physics. Mario can jump 2-5 times his own height.
