if I got it right, I get the next question

and just to prove it, 7 up was thusly named because it was a combination of 7 different flavors

(see previous page for question)... or,

Quoting: nicholman

Oh, sorry i didnt know the rules!

And nope, 7 UP was named coz the inventor had already rejected 6 names before it (lame)!

Do you mean what is the acceleration? Because the acceleration of a body due to gravity is 9.8 m/s/s or 32 ft/s/s.

ding ding ding!!! Rachael wins!!

yes, the speed of aceleration, 9.8m/s^2

Terminal velocity itself is generally considered about 198km/hr I believe.

Yea! I win one. But Dave you asked the question wrong. Speed and acceleration are 2 different things. Since you asked for speed, that's probably why Sher gave an answer in km/hr. Come on! Gotta get the physics lingo right!!

Okay, so for my question. What do you call a group of owls?
