rate of acceleration due to gravity=9.8 m/s/s
therefore, every second you are falling, you are traveling 9.8 meters per second faster
meaning then....
20.0
x9.8
196 m/s
now thats damn fast.

But he said that you reach terminal velocity in about 6 seconds.
pocketrocket300:
terminal velocity meaning?

"Based on wind resistance, for example, the terminal velocity of a skydiver in a free-fall position with a semi-closed parachute is about 195 km/h (120 mph or 55 m/s)"
thanks wikipedia
But yes, good luck bones.
pocketrocket300:
terminal velocity can mean a lot of different things...
nvm, thank god wikipedia
notice i did not take wind resistance into account
