minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish5•edit-21 month agoNo, terminal velocity is somewhere around 110mph I think. Unless you’re talking about sending it into space. Edit: yes I have read more about this since making the comment. Big thanks to a mediocre education decades ago for what I thought I knew.
minus-squareTheRealKunilinkEnglish2•1 month agoTo be fair, I did say “high enough.” Get it beyond the atmosphere and it’ll easily hit 420mph. Just know there won’t really be anything left for your insurance company to appraise.

minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink2•1 month agoTerminal velocity depends on the drag profile and weight of an object. So it actually depends what shape the vehicle is and it’s mass.
minus-square@KlearlinkEnglish2•1 month agoPretty sure that’s terminal velocity of a falling human. It will likely be much higher for a car.
