I would die from eating too many tacos
Force equals mass times acceleration.
Google says a taco weighs about 100 grams. Acceleration due to gravity is 9.8m/s^2. Assuming a perfectly spherical hard taco falling in a vacuum, we can estimate that the force of a falling taco equals .1kg*9.8m/s^2, or .98 Newtons.
Now, a taco falling in atmosphere is going to get a lot of tumble and friction from the air around it, so it’ll more than likely fall apart well before it hits you on the head.
Either way, you’ll be alright.
The end result might be a lot of tomato and jalapeno plants the following year. Think of the taco as a seed bomb. Everything other than the actual seeds becomes fertilizer.
There are worse ways to go! 🤤
Fish tacos?
