Momentum isn't the worst place to start here, but I'll address that more after we look at the mass some more. 10,000 kg is about right if you're looking at the entire column of air from the ground up to space, but what bearing would that have on its ability to lift a person? If a person is standing in the wind, what mass of air actually interacts with them?Suyash Singh said:
On that track you will find out what happens when you hit somebody with 10 tons of air in one go. (But the equation is still wrong.)Suyash Singh said:

That's an excellent tool for collisions, for example: but for this, you better to swim instead.Suyash Singh said:
The speed of airflow is directly correlated to the amount of lift that can be generated for a man. As the speed of airflow increases, the lift force also increases. This is due to the Bernoulli's principle, which states that the pressure of a fluid decreases as the speed of the fluid increases.
The minimum speed of airflow required to lift a man depends on various factors such as the weight and body position of the man, the shape and size of the object creating the airflow, and the density of the air. However, on average, a speed of approximately 7-8 meters per second is needed to lift a man.
Yes, a man can be lifted by a slow-moving airflow, but the amount of lift generated will be significantly less compared to a faster-moving airflow. It is important to note that the speed of airflow is not the only factor that affects lift. Other factors such as the shape and angle of the man's body also play a role.
The shape of the man can greatly affect the speed of airflow needed for lift. A more streamlined and aerodynamic shape will require less speed to generate lift compared to a less streamlined shape. This is because a streamlined shape reduces the amount of drag, which can slow down the airflow and decrease lift.
No, lift cannot be generated without airflow. Airflow is necessary for the Bernoulli's principle to come into effect and generate lift. However, there are other methods such as using a propeller or helicopter blades that can create lift without relying on airflow.
