[00:00:00]Same fall from a 30-story building.

[00:00:03]Ant, mouse, [music] elephant.

[00:00:05]Who walks away?

[00:00:07]The secret is size.

[00:00:09]The bigger you get, mass grows much faster than the air catching area.

[00:00:14]A tiny ant to drag is plenty, lands like a feather.

[00:00:18]A huge elephant, drag isn't enough, hits hard.

[00:00:22]Humans are big, too.

[00:00:24]A high fall is dangerous.

[00:00:26]Open a parachute, the air catching area shoots up.

[00:00:30]Falling speed drops sharply.

[00:00:33]Paratroopers land safely.

[00:00:36]Aid boxes float down to the right village.

[00:00:39]The parachute [music] turns a person into a giant ant.

[00:00:42]Small falls soft.

[00:00:45]Big needs a chute.

[00:00:47]Physics, middle school.
