Im fairly ignorant on the theory of terminal velocity.
It says that matter has a maximum speed in a certain direction.
Is it possible that another factor could be the distance to the centre of gravity, which ever way it may be attracted?
If a marble is dropped at 999m (just work with the figures please) takes about 200m to reach 'terminal velocity', could this certain speed be relative to its distance. Mabye it can't increase in speed for that distance.
Its true the closer to the centre of gravity the greater effect it has on an object.
couldnt once this object reach's its 'relative terminal velocity' it could then increase at a steady pace till the point where the centre of this gravity is completely still?
You could say that it is possible that it is implieng that the pull of gravity is its maximum but that is saying:
a) terminal velocity can never be reached
b) is only possible in a vacuum.
Plz help I am lost. thnx
