Please could somebody verify an argument.
1) I was under the impression terminal velocity = 121 Mph is this
correct.
2) If a skydiver jumps and "tracks" e.g.. Dives to try and become more
aerodynamic what speed could he reach? Would it be more than terminal
velocity. I think that's impossible.
Many thanks in advance...
Regards.
