China is completing the construction of the tallest bridge in the world, which runs through the Grand Huajiang Canyon. The 2,890-meter-long steel suspension bridge rises 625 meters above sea level

For anyone curious, it would take you 11.29 seconds to hit the ground if you were to jump.

[u/ScramJetMacky → u/Ruskih]

You're supposed to show your work. Haha.

d = 1/2 gt²

d= distance(625m) g=gravity(9.8m/s²⁾
t=time

2d = gt²

2d/g = r²

t = √2d/g

t = √[2(625)/9.8]

t = 11.29

Would a persons weight make a difference?

[u/xX500_IQXx → u/ben_woah]

Weight makes no difference in the acceleration of an object downwards in an ideal, no air resistance scenario. however, it might make a difference for air resistance, along with size

have you ever heard of galileo

[u/Sea_Buy9017 → u/ben_woah]

Neglecting air resistance from being a bigger person? No.

[u/potato_and_nutella → u/ben_woah]

Nope, and he isn’t counting air resistance so size doesn’t matter either
