The Dark Knight: Rachel's Fall


In this clip, Rachel falls falls from a sky scraper and heroically gets saved last second.
Lets see if the height of the building matches up with her free-fall time.

Height =.5 * force of gravity * time^2

Height = .5 * (9.8m/s^2) * 18.5s^2

= 1677 meters


The buiding in the movie was probably 50 stories tall, no where near a kilometer!
