Physics problem:
I have two cars One is hanging from a helicopter 2 miles high and
another car is down range two miles
I cut the cable of the one in the sky and it starts falling. At the
same time i start the car on the ground coming towards me at the same
time full throttle which travels in about in a Quarter mile in 15.8
seconds with a top speed of 149mph. assuming the car stays flat (for
most wind resistance) as it falls with a gross weight of 3,800 lbs.
and with a frame size thats 71 inches wide and 190 inches long.


What is the speed of the falling car (terminal volicity) in mph?

Who would reach me first on the ground?

Also, If the falling car gets there first. How many miles away would
you have to move both cars for the ground car to win the race giving
they start equal distance away.
