1 - If you jump out an airplane and your falling down with something heavier than you per say a heavy suitcase, can you stand on top of it and jump off the suitcase as soon as you are about to hit land? Using momentum off of the suitcase going up while the suitcase is going down and surviving the airplane crash?

i’m just tryin to figure out a way to survive one if incase I’m ever involved in one

2 - If you go sky diving and your falling down 100’s of mph would you be able to hold a cup of glass while falling with water inside it? Will the water remain in the cup or will it go up as you’re falling down?

answer smart ones…

It’s newton’s third law of motion in action. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Your weight is nothing but the reaction of the ground ON you due to the action (gravity) of you ON the ground. If you and the weight machine fell freely at the same acceleration (9.8 m/s^2), then the weight machine would not register any reading. Similarly, you cannot gain any upward reaction from the suitcase, since you and the suitcase (analogy to weight machine) are falling freely with similar accelration, namely 9.81 m/s^2.
