This is a follow-up question for Tye Morancy who wrote on Dec 17: " To summarize, the unfortunate result of this story is that the bullet leaves the muzzle at 900 m/s travels upwards, stops, and comes back towards the shooter and impacts at 40.79 m/s. ..." In skydiving school I learned that the terminal velocity of skydivers is above 120 mph. Would a bullet fall slower than a skydiver? Where can I find numerical values for terminal velocities for objects used in sports (soccer vs football, tennis vs golf ball, etc) Thanks, Gottfried Mayer
