the friction alone on the bodysize would mean kiv would be slower

Acceleration due to gravity is independant of mass Ironside.
You will lose loads of dosh if you bet.

but accleration due to size would mean kiv would fall faster and due to friction in the air that would slow down but kiv would hit the ground faster than snoopy |

ps if snoopy and kiv are up for it i am willing to fly the plane and test this theory

The only way to test this theory would be to sling them out the plane without a chute. I'm sure they should be ok with it  |

The greater air resistance in an extremely light object, such as a ferather, would slow it down.
One stone would fall at the same rate as 20 though.
Karabiner is correct, Kiv and Snoopy would fall at the same speed. Although without parachutes, Kiv would create a far larger crater.

I really don’t know about the physics in this, but I can say when I did this the instructor in class prior to the jump told us we would be traveling at 250mph for 6.5k feet then chute opens and it all depends on the instructor for the last 8k feet.
Some people were 15 stone and some 8 stone, he said we would be moving at 250mph
So I guess size makes no difference to the speed here

Sometimes you have to suffer a little bit in your youth to motivate yourself to succeed in later life. Do you think if Bill Gates got laid in high school, do you think there'd be a Microsoft? Of course not.  |

Ok Ironside, I concede the larger surface area of a Kiv would mean he would meet with more air resistance and consequently fall slower.
You were right, I was wrong.
If Kiv and Snoopy jumped out of a plane without chutes, the Colchester chap would win any last longer side action.

i want this tested
we could throw in roberthm and IFM as test cases

We digress So far we have Jim-D confirmed and Jamier-Host from Blue Sq has also confirmed - any other takers (on the proviso that Ironside is NOT flying the plane)? |
