Accelerating Past Terminal Velocity Just so you are aware It is IMPOSSIBLE TO ACCELERATE SOMETHING PAST TERMINAL VELOCITY acceleration terminates at terminal velocity not life Please take a physics course before critiquing physics so you don t come off looking ignorant I ll correct it for you SteveB Ehmm ofcourse you can accelarate something past terminal velocity Terminal velocity is just the point where atmospheric drag is equal to gravity so gravity wo nt accelarate you anymore But if you strap a rocketpac to your back and dives towards the earth and fire you are sure as hell gon na accelerate past terminal velocity for humans Maybe you are thinking of the speed of light which you can not go faster than Also please don t be rude and use personal attacks we don t do that here at Wikipedia
