In fact, ants do not only fall at the height of human height, but even if they fall from the cruising altitude of the plane, they cannot die. The cruising altitude of civil aviation aircraft is generally 8000-12000 meters.
Falling from this height, it seems that everything will shatter into slag. But ants, disdainful of such concerns. There are two reasons for this.
First of all, ants are really resistant to falling.
We all know that ants can lift objects that weigh 400 times heavier than themselves. In addition to the strength of the ant, it also shows that the body structure of the ant can withstand the super impact force. The ant's strong exoskeleton and strong muscles make it less vulnerable to injury when it falls from the air and hits the ground.
Second, ants fall from the plane and do not fall heavily to the ground.
The ant is about 0.05g lighter, slender and irregular, which makes him fully affected by air resistance during the fall. Soon after falling from the plane, the ants will remain at a uniform speed of about 10 meters per second, and after about 15 minutes, they will float to the ground.
Because the ants are very light and do not fall fast, the impact force when landing is about 0.00049N (Newton). This force is multiplied by 100 times (0.049N force), which is roughly equivalent to lifting the weight of two ping-pong balls.
Therefore, falling off the plane and hitting the ground is just tickling for ants.
In fact, some Japanese scientists have thrown ants from a height of 10 centimeters, 1 meter and 10 meters, and some netizens from all over the world have thrown ants from their own roofs and roofs. The ants equipped with the "automatic landing system" landed safely and without incident.
However, at a height of 10,000 meters, there is a cold of minus 40 or 50 degrees, the air pressure is extremely low, the oxygen content is lower, and the wind speed at a high altitude is as high as 100 kilometers per hour... Falling from the plane, the probability of falling into the sea is 7 points, and the ants fail to land, and they go to heaven forever.
Xiao Heng, who is 10,000 meters away from the god of physics, tried to answer this question roughly, hoping to help you curious babies.
