"Call It"...."Nothing But Net"

touché cherry picker. Wrong choice of words on my part.

I guess we are agreeing. Error was on my part thinking you were correcting cbd10pt to say that all he needed to do was multiply the time by gravity to come up with the speed. Not simply that he had his units wrong. I was adding to your comment stating that terminal velocity would likely come into play thus the calculation would not be quite that simple.

I would be more impressed if it wasn't almost straight down.

Now we're on the same excel sheet.

go watch it again... its probably at least 3 point distance away laterally... look at how much CURVE it had cause of the wind, 10-12 feet... I'm amazed the net didn't shred...

Ok I keep thinking about this. So I started looking.

Terminal velocity of roughly 50 mph, achieved in roughly 3 seconds of free fall. If dropped directly down it would bounce roughly 60' back up.

I didn't do the math but i read in a few places that terminal velocity was approximately 120 mph

Interesting!

Terminal velocity of what? Every object with a different shape, mass, etc will have a different terminal velocity. Maybe 120 mph is for a human in free fall??? A person sky diving feet first will have a different TV than one falling chest first with arms and legs spread. It is based on resistance and coefficient of friction on the object. One of the main reasons golf balls have the little dimples is to reduce drag and allow for a higher velocities (and steady flight). Just my 0.02

Go ahead and chalk me up with an "H".

Awesome

Go ahead and chalk me up with an "H".

Lol

Wow!! Thats amazing. I dont care if it took him dozens of tries making it once is incredible.

"O" I missed twice
