In paratrooper training they told us that terminal velocity was about 120 mph. Found out in the dictionary that it depends on the type of falling body: "the constant velocity of a falling body, attained when the resistance of air, water, or other surrounding fluid has become equal to the force of gravity acting upon the body. The terminal velocity for a man is about 120mph (e.g. for a parachutist delaying the opening of his chute); the corresponding velocity for a cat is proably 40 mph at the most (Newe Scientist). So if a bullet is smaller than a cat, it must have a much lower TV than the cat. I always thought that terminal was the same for any object.
