I'd like to have some feedback about what his teacher said and stuff. Oh, if you take the friction of the air into account, the maximum speed attined by the cow should be around 200 km/h. That would be a reasonnable 55.5 m/s. -- ------------------------------------ Jerome X Villanova E.mail: villa@robot.uvsq.fr ------------------------------------- .
