Doesn't everything get up to the same terminal speed?

Can you imagine if it was on Jupiter. A human would accelerate like whoa. Maybe breaking the sound barrier on the way down.

If there's air in this equation, you need to find the termnial velocity of an ant in freefall. Then determine what happens to an ant when fired at a cement wall at terminal velocity.

In all liklihood, it will go splat.

I know, i think it would shit itself and have a heart attack before it hit the ground. Therefore it would die!

doesn't matter if theres wind or not, it'll still fall at the same rate. Terminal velocity will be reached quickly and it will be fine.
