A tonne of something will fall more slowly then a tonne of something else if you shape it so there is more surface or drag.
Also, it doesn't take 30-40 seconds to reach terminal velocity, jump out of an airplace and drop penies from your hand, the pennies fly up (fall slower) and are at their terminal velocity, while you are at yours. |
