I'm unsure if you're being sarcastic or not - but of course it isn't.
His velocity, and therefore his path, will be the resultant vector of the velocity attained through gravitational acceleration, and the velocity remaining from his initial y-displacement, minus anything lost to friction, obviously.

If he starts at a high enough speed I don't see why he couldn't grab a flier. Hasn't Hulk caught up with jets in the past?Changing your argument is you? 😠
But yeah it would be relatively easy to sidestep any falling large object (god that sounds sarcastic)
I'm not changing my argument.
When I first posted, I was talking about someone standing on the ground - hence sideSTEP.
Hard to step if you're in the air...
Originally posted by Soljerno I wasn't being sarcastic. frankly, I don't have the phsyics knowledge you seem to have, but I thought that the downward fall of pretty much any object barring air resistance is pretty much the same from a given distance. Even if there is variation, it is too minute to effect the speed much.

You're right - the downward velocity will be solely based upon gravity.
However, his path will be parabolic, and will be dictated by his initial velocity as well.
