All that potential fun, or a sedate Paris buffet.... ;-)
LOL!!! You are BANNED, man! :-) I think that mess would be a bit much even for the French. :-)

Terminal velocity, you said? What are you, a masochist?

It's that drag and drag coefficient that drive you nuts. They depend on the aerodynamics of the falling object and can vary greatly with small changes in shape. Terminal velocities are generally measured when really needed, not calculated. The "calculation" exercise is saved to drive fluid mechanics classes crazy.

But maybe you're just interested in the terminal velocity of a human body. About 120 mph. About. Quite enough to thoroughly kill you.
