Quite so. I hope everyone's taking notes on this - there will be a quiz during this week's recitation.
Next slide, please.

For those who, like me, didn't know, Terminal Velocity is usually about 120mph for a falling human body. At least that's what I read on one of those fancy-schmantsy math sites. It depends on the amount of resistance you give, thus, if you go hard first arch your back, as I've seen skydivers do, you can increase your terminal velocity. Splay yourself out horizontally and you'll slow it down.
