Terminal Velocity of Falling Objects Question

[MORAY37]

I've got try in here.

Wind would have no effect on the downward velocity of anything falling unless the wind was blowing UP.

Everything is 32 ft/sec/sec

Call me Galileo.

Absolutely correct.  It would accelerate at a constant 9.8 m/s².

Mass has no bearing.  A 1000kg bomb will hit the ground at the same time as a 5kg one will, when dropped from the same height, and with the same drag co-efficient.

same drag co-efficient.

Being the key.

So the real question is, how fast is it going to get to Terminal Velocity, is what your saying.

It's more like this:

You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows.

Haven't you done enough hijacking for one night?

I was told the last one was not High enough.

I have since refilled my blender.

My blender was backordered.  Until then I'll settle on sugar rushes from Monsters

The Skytrains came in friday night. You need to check.

[Banshee7]

D'oh.  It's apparently been on my roof since then.  Thanks for making me go check.  Now I can really auger!

Painlessly

Painlessly

Well, it all depends on the velocity I reach during my auger...

[kvuo75]

now that is textbook hijacking.
