you double the force of gravity.. so assuming the bv^2 model, the speed increases by sqrt(2) or like 40%.

wont air resistance for 2 poeple be 2x as great as it was for 1 person?

Assume 2 cases with 2 people falling out of an airplane.

in case 1, the 2 people are holding hands

in case 2, the 2 people are falling right next to each other but not holding hands

are you saying in case 1 that they will fall faster then in case 2?
