If a mouse falls its terminal velocity is high but its momentum is low... and except for concrete, it will survive any height. A rat ... well not so much. The rat MUST land on its feet. A cat... it's tail flies around to ensure it lands on its feet. A five hundred foot fall will kill it, but an 80 foot fall, **onto its feet** probably won't. It is biology, and biology IS physics & chemistry. The rules of the latter two, lead to the rules of the former.
@MrMilanokas well yeah when your dad runs it over all its organs and bones get CRUSHED! and when they fall they can eailsy land and not CRUSH there body.
my physics teacher explained it to me last year, i can't remember what the exact name for it is but basically a cat's legs are designed to be able to cope with any force, so they can fall from any height and not die. but please after reading this DO NOT THROW YOUR CAT OF HIGH PLACES!!!!!
@AnnoyingLittleShit Hehehe. It's not that their legs are designed to cope with "any" force. It's that their legs can cope the maximum force that can be attained when falling. That maximum force is dependent on the terminal velocity of the cat--(velocity attained before air resistance nullifies gravitational acceleration). It was shown that for the average cat, terminal velocity is reached from around 7 stories. Of course, what the cat lands ON makes a big difference too. Concrete = ouch.
Cats have a nonfatal terminal velocity of around 60 mph, they can survive pretty much any fall. A cat got away from a fall from a 75 storey window with nothing but a fractured leg and a broken tooth.
If a cat falls from 8 stories, it'll survive. If it falls from 4 stories, it will probably break something or maybe even die. I read that on OMG facts.
Yeah. Cats are more likely to be injured during a short fall. A long fall from a tree that high would give the cat plenty of time to position herself. If you watch closely, you'll see that the cat does a flip in the air.
First the cat fell because one of his paws was on a ting stick on the branch and it snapped Second he flipped over from another tree when he was falling and landed on his back
What is more amazing is that they acutally did a news report on this retarded shit. Of course the cat is fine, it's a fucking CAT it's going to survive high falls.
That is wrong the cat fell and try to landed on the cat's feet but another tree make the cat fell on the cat's back,got scared and run and hide under a car.
brave kitty. i woudlve been screaming and scared to death lol. but funny when the cat was all like" okay...imma jump..... WHEEEEE (he lands) OFF I GO! HEE HEE!" imagine it lol.
We learned about this in physics. Cats will expand their surface area so much that they reach terminal velocity very quickly, so they don't accelerate enough to get hurt. That's why they can fall off a 5 story building and be fine.
well, 80 feet is 9 stories just about so yeah it wouldnt die, obv. cats have hairs in their ears that tell them they are upside down, they spin back around and open up there legs and in a way that slows down the rate they fall by half. if a human fell from that height they would almost certainly die
It was a jump, a cat isn't stupid you know -- it's just sort of hard to get a big enough surface area to propel yourself off when your on one single branch.
my mans kicked that cat as soon as it hit the ground. way to add insult to injury. i really don't believe the reporter when she says the cat ran away as soon as it hit the ground.
omg when she was falling through the air what was going through your mind? what the hell kind of question is that?? *oh i was thinking, i hope she will be flat, i hated that damn cat..* what do you think is going through her mind???
cats can survive most falls 30+ feet. the higher they fall, the safer they are. Once they break the gravitational acceleration their bodies relax (b/c it no longer feels like their accelerating as they fall so theyre not tense). from there its easy for them to spread themselves out, which slows how fast their falling. also their bodies allow them to absorb the impact as well. physics is fun, but its still amazing to watch this stuff happen
cats have 9 life !
