friction and terminal velocity of a parachutist vs a car

[WTE_Galway]

Not sure about that but googling parachutes and motor vehicles I did find this:

Warning do not try this at home.

Interestingly most discussions on parachutes discuss Lift not friction.

It was like a giant was trying to pick me up by my head! It nearly ripped me off my bike by the chin strap...

god almighty, is this insanity really still going?!

Guys don't you realise you're doing this man only a great deal of harm by indulging him?

I am not implying anything here, I just can't understand your attitude, if I were you I would be ashamed of talking physics, since you demonstrate your understanding is limited and based on wrong assumptions to say the least (the signs of a creative but lazy student). I mean, do you really like making a fool out of yourself? And don't say that you're a genius or that other people became famous because they questioned the reality as we know it: Albert Einstein was a genius because he had a thorough understanding of physics, not just because he was creative.

well besides people here are not indulging theyre just laughing at me

whay i say:

if dynamic friction is not a function of velocity is wrong because a block falling in a ramp will reach a terminal velocity

what can i do if 99% of people study for the printed paper

the only righteous person in this thread its been outlaw

right, so you're aware of this an still you keep on doing it? I assume you like it when people laugh at you then?

Albert Einstein was genius because his IQ exceed 141. He had a thorough understanding of physics because he wanted to. His creativity was a natural talent.

To the rest of your blather, I say so what?

So far I've yet to see Raaaid cause you any harm, Stern. I on the other hand find him amusing. Perhaps if you spent less time knowing everything and more time laughing at yourself, your pitiful existence might be less dark.

Let me give you a clue: When you see a thread by Raaaid, don't open it. You'll have much less stress, and so will the rest of us.

well you can have a 180 IQ but if you have no discipline and sound knowledge of physics I doubt you can apply your creativity to it. Maybe raaaid should stick to crafts.

Right, you find him amusing and I'm the one with a pitiful existence?


He behaves like this everywhere and when he gets kicked out he moves somewhere else to do it. He does it because he enjoys it and has nothing better to do. A forum on a sim is not a place for your personal ramblings that don't follow any logic whatsoever. If he really cared to talk about this and spread his ideas he would make his own blog or website, instead he just loves to troll in here with this utter nonsense. It's because it's done with the awareness that it's gonna annoy people that it's considered trolling.

We all do, don't we? Perhaps even you, dear Raaaid. Who knows, maybe you're just desperately trying to get people's attention. And if you were, I still wouldn't understand why you'd do such a thing in this forum in particular.
Still, there are many ways to try to interpret one's behaviour.
