Can humans fall faster than terminal velocity?

Can a human ever fall faster than terminal velocity? This video explores the physics of air resistance, acceleration, and real-world scenarios like skydiving to explain what terminal velocity really ...
When an object is falling, the two main forces acting on it are weight close weightA force that acts on mass, pulling it down, due to gravity. Weight is a force and forces are measured in newtons (N).
I had so much fun creating graphs for the Red Bull Stratos Space Jump calculation, that I figured I should make some more. Can you fall faster than terminal velocity? That is the question. Air ...
