'What is the terminal velocity of my stereo if I chuck it out of my window' - Lew
I could tell you this. It's not a very hard question to answer, and the terminal velocity has nothing to do with how far the object falls, terminal velocity is determined by the air resistance and mass of the object...</physics lecture rant>

Terminal velocity is the maximum speed and object can fall at.
Everything gets attracted to the Earth by a gravitational force which is determined by Newtons Law of Universal gravitation. With this law combined with Newtons Second Law of motion you will discover that all objects with mass on this planet will fall at a rate of around 9.8 metres per second per second, which means they will accelerate. Of course not all objects fall at this speed because of air resistance.
The terminal velocity of an object is the maximum speed they will accelerate to due to this force. Humans can fall at something like 200km/h towards the Earth at terminal velocity, on the other hand a tennis ball could only fall at like 50km/h or less due to its weight and air resistance. </Muggus's quick physics lesson of the day>

The delicate balance of this thread had been disrupted, so I must ask two questions.
1. How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
2. k

Chris: A woodchuck would chuck as much wood as he could if a woodchuck could chuck wood.
Julian: Then I would answer it.

An old account of mine, recently cleared out. It's a blast to the past, the age was marked as 14 when I found it.  If you know where to look, you can track me. Au revoir.

A (to Lew): Because they have so much honey and sugar in them.
Question: Where can you find a windows API (as in all those little default textboxes and stuff like that, which any program can use) editor which can not only edit the contents of edit boxes, but change the items in a listbox too? (to change stuff in real time......)
