How could Kittenger in the Project Excelsior article achieve speeds of 600 MPH when an 85000 foot drop in 276 seconds implies an average of 210 MPH and a terminal velocity of 420 MPH?

at that altitude (stratosphere?) the air density is much less, therefore terminal velocity is much greater

What is the minimum velocity required to project a body from a height h so that it will not fall back on earth?
if it was a continuous velocity then 10mps i guess because that is the terminal velocity when an object is dropped this is another person who answer actuallyn you are wrong terminal velocity is the maximum

Why doesn't Logan International Airport have a Terminal D?
Logan Int'l doesn't have a terminal D because of the Terminal A project. When they were working on the terminal they had to reconfigure terminal C to accommodate Continental and Delta Shuttle. They then removed terminal D and Split it between Terminal C and E. When Terminal A project was done they saved the hastle of reconfiguring the Airport and left it as is. -Ryan:)

Steps of project method?

Differentiate speed and velocity?
speed is the distance traveled per unit time, and it is the rate at which something happens; "the project advanced with gratifying speed". While velocity is the rate of speed with which something happens; rapidity of action or reaction.Additional answerI don't understand any of the above. Speed is the rate that something moves, but without a particular direction. Velocity is the speed in a particular direction. Velocity is a scientific quantity, really. You probably wouldn't make this distinction in eveyday life.
