User blog:Gliscor Fan/Ami and Yumi do the moon jump, Puffy style

so today I'm going to try and calc a thing to try and make up for my failure with Jake Long's Coconuts.

I'll be calcing Ami and Yumi's moon jump from 6:54 of this video:

Since this entire series takes place in america, and that these characters are just fictional versions of the real Puffy AmiYumi, we can safely say that they are in the same universe we are in.

The average distance from the earth to the moon is around 230,100 mi.

Now in the video, it took them 5 seconds to hit the top of the ground from the moon. However, a few seconds before they landed, they deployed Parachutes. Within 2 seconds, they managed to get through space into near a mile within their buses vicinity, so that's the number well use.

230,100 miles divided by 2 seconds is around 1.15e+5 miles per second.

If we convert 1.15e+5 into a Mach, we get around 539575.977.

However this number is most likely wrong so let's use a different calculator and see what happens.

If we try that again, but on this calculator, we get around 414,173.51 Miles per hour.

If we convert that number into mps, we get 115.0481972222 miles per second.

If we convert that to a mach, we would get Mach 539.80211635674709.

Comparing the two numbers, both of them start with 539, so Puffy AmiYumi's moon jump is around Mach 539, making them either MHS or just above FTL.

You're welcome.
