Q&A

Could a blade of a large grasslike plant stop the fall of an "ant man"?

+0
−0

If a typical human were shrunk down to be 3cm tall weighing 2.5 grams (ignoring all problems that would cause), would the blade of the grasslike plant described below be able to stop its fall from 6 inches up?

The grass has a rough texture as shown below

The blade of grass is at a 70 degree angle and measures 2 ft long and 1 ft wide curling in on the sides (so he doesn't slide off) and comes to a point on the end. He lands half way down.

Would it be possible for him to come to a complete stop before touching the ground?
