Once again, acceleration will go down with respect to time.

No acceleration will go up in the FE model until it equals the acceleration of the air

Nevermind, we are essentially saying the same thing.  The object's acceleration will go up, which is what you are talking about, and the delta acceleration will go down which is what I was talking about.  I still don't agree with your numbers though.

I was just going to bring that up, and I am confident in my numbers, the air resistance is dependent upon the acceleration of the air by the object so if the air is accelerating then after every second the velocity increases but every second the force of the air resitance gives the object a velocity as well so it needs to subtracted to calculate the velocity of the air moving by the object

and if you want to calculate tha object velocity in respect to the earth then its velocity would only be around 10 m/s which is half that of the RE prediction

Relative to the Earth?  When your upwards acceleration equals the acceleration of the Earth.

But, I've said this already.
Made this using LaTex and I forgot to resize the page so sorry
Your 'FE' equation is wrong.  Since you let us all have a good laugh, I'll go ahead and post the derivation for you.

The drag force on a body in a fluid is given by
 
F = .5*Cd*v2*A*rho                                                       (1)

where Cd is the drag coefficient, v is the velocity of the object, A is the cross sectional area of the object and rho is the density of the fluid.

We know from Newton's Second Law of Motion that

F = m*ao                                                                      (2)

where F is force, m is the mass of the object and ao is the acceleration of the object.  Rearranging (2) gives us

ao = F/m                                                                       (3)

Combining (3) and (1) gives

ao = Cd*v2*A*rho/(2*m)                                                 (4)

Now, an object that has reached terminal velocity, vt, has no relative acceleration to the Earth.  Applying this to the FE, that means that the object must have an upwards acceleration equal to that of the Earth's.  It follows then, that

ae - ao = 0                                                                   (5)

where ae is the acceleration of the Earth and ao is the acceleration of the object. 

Rearranging (5) gives

ae = ao                                                                        (6)

which, by examination, is correct for all objects whose height is not changing relative to the Earth (aircraft for example). 

Combining (6) and (4) leaves us with the equation

ae = Cd*vt2*A*rho/(2*m)                                              (7)

Performing simple algebra on (7) yields the equation

vt = sqrt(2*ae*m/(Cd*A*rho)                                          (8)

which can easily been seen to be the exact same equation as the one for the RE, with the exception that ae refers to the acceleration of the Earth and a in the RE equation refers to the acceleration due to gravity.

Using your numbers, we see that the terminal velocity on the FE is 22.1426 m/s.



p.s.  Your RE equation is wrong.

Nice try but learn what the FE model states and then maybe you can contribute to the Conversation

You seem to have forgotten to tell us all the part where my derivation is wrong. 


How can you be confident in your numbers when I have shown them to be wrong already?  Besides, your RE equation is wrong.

Anet=AE-AD=9.8-.02(2.26*9.8 )2=0

0.02 is all the stated variables other than v simplified.

Well, apparently in sokarul's world, it is retarded for alien eskimo farmhands to pose as mexicans.  Go figure.

but you are calculating the acceleration on the object incorrectly, Do this do not think about what happens in reality think about what the model states, and then ask yourself what is causing the acceleration on the object.
