Free fall with air resistance (time and velocity)
| [1-10] /266 | Disp-Num |   |
- Purpose of use
- Trying to figure out how fast my drone will hit the ground (or someone) if it loses power at 4000m - apparently air resistance will keep it to a breezy 3 m/s.

- Purpose of use
- Approximating Gandalf's distance of fall when fighting the Balrog in the movie The Two Towers. It's about 13,000 feet, which compares plausibly to the rough sizes of a middling-large mountain.
