if an extremely massive object collides with you at snails pace, would it send you flying across the room?

Chud 04/21/25 (Mon) 19:49:45 №9225 [Quote]

yes

How big?

Chud 04/21/25 (Mon) 19:57:11 №9236 [Quote]

if it's massive enough it will gravitationally pull you

no and you can simulate it by jumping up and down rn

It would be extremely painful

In this scenario you are the object with momentum trying to impart velocity on an object with infinitely larger mass, so no.

There is no way an infinitely large object would collide with chud at a snail's pace. He'd accelerated toward the object at an infinite speed and get crushed due to gravity.

The only way this makes sense is if the speeds were relative like he is now when he smashes his body towards the earth after a jump.

Yes.
Only if that object is a giant snail though. It would be moving at over 100 miles an hour.

Chud 04/22/25 (Tue) 01:58:45 №9416 [Quote]

no

you collide with earth faster than that every time you walk

Does it make a difference?
Relative to you, you're always in the center of the universe and it's the world moving towards you, not the other way around

i slowly swung my door into a marble and it didn't get launched anywhere. myth busted.
