Message	Terminal velocity is based on gravitational acceleration & wind resistance. Weight (I believe you mean mass as weight is a force) will have nothing to do with it. Take a feather & baseball. Both in a vacuum tube will fall at the same rate. Put them in where there is wind resistance and that's where the difference is. Mass has nothing to do with it.
