In the video Wile E. Coyote jumps off the cliff. usually when you jump off something you go down right away. However, Wile is horizontal for the whole time. the problem with this is that there is gravity which will acceleration will go up 9.8 every second when jumping off a cliff or anything for that matter. with the equation for distance d=-4.9*t^2, if Wile's jump was correct he would not be able to stay horizontally stable for that long.
