This is the gravitational acceleration factor, which does not relate directly to the terminal velocity (at which air resistance equals the gravitational acceleration, so there is no increase in velocity).

If you are to be king, you must know these things.

I saw this on an episode of Growing Pains once. It was the one where they were throwing things out the window (table, tennis ball, books)... and then measuring how long it took to land. I think it was Growing Pains... hmmm, i'm not too sure now.

TV... its edumacational

Good detective work... of course you could have simply read one of the first two posts where its states that the 8 IS on a dyno..
