In freefall (unsupported, unstabilised) which fruit or veg do you think would have the highest terminal veloity within the Earth's atmosphere?
The one with the highest mass/volume ratio.
The starfruit.
Never heard of a couple of those, but I know what a turnip is. So I chose it. ;)
While they don't bounce back to my window (failing the bounce test) they do not flatten out. I know this for a fact. Doesn't matter if I'm on the second or third floor, either.
Round is aerodynamic, also.
I say carrot.
When/Where is this vegefruit_drop going to be?
i think the guy on the street is mad at me i just threw a bunch of friut at him, i think the carrot hit him first.
they will all fall at the same speed. basic physics :wave:
Yep, 32 feet per second, per second or something like that??Quote:

yes i thought it was 10, but i didnt want to post cuz i felt stupid :)
Its based on friction, mass and gravity :)
I think turnip - you can get some very aerodynamiclly (and amusingly) shaped turnips.
Either that or a carrot.
Yah, in a vacuum. Try dropping a feather along with a bowling ball. I would be willing to bet that in the atmosphere, the bowling ball will hit first.Quote:

Still the bowling ball. See my post in this thread.
