Your parachute has failed, and you'll hit the ground in 60 seconds. You're falling at around 190 km an hour. Your best bet to slow down is increasing your air resistance by making an X shape.

We're not going to lie to you; the odds aren't great, but here's how you could survive. Swamps, snow, and trees may all help cushion your fall, though they all have downsides. Water's also not a terrible idea, but try to land bolt upright. It could maybe stop you getting knocked out by the impact and drowning.

If you're landing in a city, look for a roof to slow your fall. You may end up sacrificing your legs, but it could protect your vital organs and boost your survival chances. Power lines can be surprisingly effective and really did save someone who fell from over 10,000 ft.

But the best approach is getting your friends to catch you in a 30s me net, like the current record holder for the highest skydive without a parachute did. Still, you're better off skydiving the boring but much safer way with not one but two parachutes.

Counting faces and edges of 3D shapes

How many faces does the following shape have? Pause this video and see if you can figure that out. All right, I’m assuming you paused it, and I’ll see if we can work through it together. I’m going to actually try to color the faces. So, we have this face…

Coal Mining's Environmental Impact | From The Ashes

We’ve spent a lot of time already thinking about markets for the goods and services that firms produce. Now we’re going to talk about the markets for the factors of production, often known as the factor markets. What are those factors of production? Well,…

Tangents of polynomials | Derivative rules | AP Calculus AB | Khan Academy

What you see here in blue, this is the graph of ( y ) is equal to ( f(x) ) where ( f(x) ) is equal to ( x^3 - 6x^2 + x - 5 ). What I want to do in this video is think about what is the equation of the tangent line when ( x ) is equal to 1, so we can visua…

Estimating to subtract multi-digit numbers | Grade 5 (TX TEKS) | Khan Academy

So we have two subtraction problems here that I want you to estimate. I first want you to estimate what 51,384 minus 28,251 is, and then I want you to estimate what 761,023 minus 18,965 is. This little squiggly equal sign means approximately, so you’re on…

Least common multiple of polynomials | Mathematics III | High School Math | Khan Academy

So they’re asking us to find the least common multiple of these two different polynomials. The first one is (3z^3r - 6z^2 - 9Z) and the second one is (7Z^4 + 21Z^3r + 14z^2). Now, if you’re saying, well, what is the LCM? You’re familiar with least common…
