    I recently had this explained to me, terminal velocity is falling versus the force of the air pushing back on you, right? In vacuum you just keep accelerating, in atmosphere the air pushes back against you falling, limiting your speed

    That force follows the rule that force (of air pushing back) is equal to acceleration (9.8m/s/s) times mass

    So different weights fall at different speeds.

    Half of the replies to me when I said what you said were

    Idiot, f=ma

    Or similar
