I can physically demonstrate that large strands of hair have a higher terminal velocity than 5 centimeters per second in front of my own face. Even if those papers you reference really did exist, their credibility can be disproven right at home. 5 - 2 centimeters per second is an absurdly slow terminal velocity. The top speed of a sloth is 8 centimeters per second, for reference.
- Assuming Yoru's mouth is open at the typical max mouth opening (5.2 cm) for adults for the largest timespan possible-
- Yoru's hair fell (5.2/67 * 87 - 5.2/67 * 63) = 1.862686567 cm
- Solving backwards for time w/ Earth gravity acceleration, 0.01862686567m = 1/2 * 9.80665 m/s^2 * t^2
- sqrt(0.01862686567 * 2 / 9.80665) = t, t = 0.06163459568 seconds
- 29,171,580 meters / 0.06163459568 seconds = 473,298,797.2 meters per second, or 1.578754851c, FTL.
- This makes Kinetic Energy impossible.
Not terminal velocity. I'm using initial velocity, and air drag is instant because it's hair so you can't use the normal formula, view my recalc
