what is terminal velocity for humans
Q & A: Reaching terminal velocity. The frictional force of air depends on air pressure and density, shape of the falling body, etc. For example the terminal velocity of a sheet of paper or a balloon is much smaller than the terminal of a BB weighing the same amount. However, you can make an estimate for a human body. It is said, although I've never tried it myself, that the terminal velocity of an ordinary person falling in normal atmosphere at low altitudes is around V0 = 200 kilometers per hour ( ~ 120 mph).
