appx 11 kps), the path will be shifted in that direction. For fast meteors
Needless to say if the acceleration is 32 ft per sec/sec this is not
equivalent to 11 km/s/s. One of the many dangers of working with the stupid
English system of measurements, and even more so of trying to do top of the
head conversions. Actually, the air free terminal velocity would be 11 kps.
Acceleration is.....about 10 meter/s/s
