This isn't homework persay and has nothing to do with school, but since it's a hypothetical question for personal interest if it belongs in the homework section or anywhere else please let me know. I apologize if it's in the wrong place.
Hello everyone I participate on an online role playing forum where people make characters and interact socially, go on adventures, and fight, these kinds of things. I've had the blessings to gain a character with rather powerful abilities, the power over gravity among other things. Basically what I want to do is take an opponent and send them flying into the air with my wind powers and then increase the gravitational pull on their bodies to send them falling to the ground at increased speeds causing a greater force of impact.
So this is a hypothetical and theoretical question, but say I were to take gravities force and multiply it by 2x with the effects localized on a single target. If possible I'd like to take a 70kg person(average human mass google tells me) and figure out how to calculate how much force they would hit the ground with from say 30ft up. With no wind resistence as my character has the power to negate such a factor, if there is any other variables or factors I need please let me know.
I'll be taking things to extreme numbers such as 50 time Earth's gravity and up to 100 feet high, but for the sake of simplicity I'd like to start by learning how to do this on a smaller scale. The only reason I bring this up is if anyone thinks such an act would have adverse effects such as drawing myself towards the target dangerously or anything of the sort please do speak up. While it's all fantasy I would like to be as accurate as possible
Also I know this might be out of the knowledge range of physics but if anyone happens to have knowledge of how much force from a fall is required to break bones or shatter them, and other varying levels of damage to the human body, I would appreciate it if you could enlighten me. Whether here in this topic or through a pm if it would be considered off-topic.
This all isn't horribly important as it's merely for recreational use in a text based fantasy, but it would help me show accurately how much damage I am doing in a world where people like to underestimate the strength of other peoples attacks. It would be nice to give a scientifically exact description of just how hard a character is hitting the ground.
Big please and thankyou's all around to any whom respond *bows* If this is too childish or doesn't seem serious enough to solicite a response I assure you I am completely serious however, I completely understand. Feel free to delete this topic and if that is the case, please send me a pm letting me know what was wrong.
