How does Bond catch up to the plane in Goldeneye when it and he, on the bike, fall from the mountain? All objects regardless of weight will fall at a maximum rate of 9.8Metres/second, so just how does bond fall faster than the plane to catch it?

Clovie
why doubble?
anyway..i noticed that too.
but you're wrong. 9.8m/s^2 (and not 9.8 m/s)
and it is acceleration and not speed.
yerssot
but to answer the question at hand:
he isn't defying gravity.
In mountain-areas where he was, there are many gales, winds, ... that are all in a different angle and pace since they "bounce off" the mountainside, making that what Bond did in GE is possible: he got in a section where either wind was blowing down or there was none while the plane was in one where the wind was blowing up, slowing it down.
It is possible but very unlikely
Corran
He was following th plane and therefore in the same section.
And yes Clovie you are correct, but I do not have a litte 2 to make the squared symbol.
Clovie
not neccesarily... it might be some blow of wind later.
plus.. plane is plane. and is supposed to fly..so it might have been falling slower. while Pierce has no wings yet
still it's acceleration and not speed.
Corran
The planes engines were still running so sure that would have also been driving the plane to higher speeds?
Clovie

dunno...

he was next to the plane, though even if he's close behind it he would be in the wake, meaning he would get dropped faster. The only problem is that from being in the "next section", he would need to cross over to the section of the airplane, that's the part that's hard to do
dave123
bond has a smaller surface area, and is subject to less air resistance

though the actual difference that would make is negligible until the plane reaches terminal velocity....
Clovie
i understand the first sentecne. and i agree

and could you translate the other one into polish or clovish or something?
yerssot
that it shouldn't make a lot of difference
but as we know, dave is wrong in this

Clovie
why shouldn't for me it should. plane has wings and james doesn't.
we know

yerssot
fight it out with dave
damn straight!
Clovie
why?
I'm

yerssot
he claims it's wrong
I'm not a tongue but myself

Clovie
so we gotta wait for his defence on that one
that's a good thing

yerssot
why? he's british
I hope so
Clovie
so what?
I know so kisses
yerssot
they're always wrong
so lets close this one, Corran was wrong, I was so right

Clovie
but newton was british, right?
closing?

yerssot
yeah and Einstein refined his ideas
you're just trigger happy

Clovie
but einstein didn't work on gravity..i think
i'm pulling th etrigger?

yerssot
it was used to explain what would happen if the sun exploded
good thing

Clovie
i didn't know that.

i thought it has something to do with time travel
why?

yerssot
it also goes for that
you know that

Clovie
and it was that thing with twins, right?
maybe i don't

yerssot
Einstein had a thing for twins I guess
I've hinted at it so many times cry
Clovie
you don't know? that one twin is going to space and the other one is staying on earth and after 25 years one of them is still young and the other one old already

i thought you have something against pao being here, but now i got it

yerssot
really? and are these female twins?
you're not awake

Clovie
ermm..actually it's not stated there..but i always had some males ones in mind..
I know

yerssot
they should be female
to the sleeping room!
Clovie
but why?
i've spent most of today in bed anyway.....*goes to sleeping room*
yerssot
cause that's more fun
cause you're sick?
Clovie
for whom?
uh huh... but i don't even have fever.

yerssot
of course for me
you're defying gravity?
Clovie
I reminded myself. the twins where male for sure.
I believe I can fly....
yerssot
they should have been female
you believe you can smack against the ground too?

Clovie
no need for that...
that i can NOT, actually

yerssot
why that?
cause you can defy gravity?
Clovie
because i'm mean like that.
if bond can, i can too

yerssot
you can be mean too?
Clovie for female Bond?

Clovie
sure i can! dev
i'll have a beretta?

yerssot
that's a first
no, Walther PPK or Walther P99

Clovie
time of me being mean?
but they're big and heavy

yerssot
yeah
they're manly guns

Clovie
and how do i do it?
I don't wanna be manly!
yerssot
good
but you're trying to impersonate bond

Clovie
hmm.... *takes some torturing stuff*...
nope. to make a female version of him. female version can't be manly.
yerssot
tell that to Halle Berry

Clovie
I'm not on speaking terms with her schmoll
yerssot
what happened?

Clovie
she's a bitсh!
yerssot
since when

yerssot
that soon already?
yerssot
but she aint defying gravity
yerssot
but she didn't crash down

yerssot
she's still underway?
Clovie
yeah
you know this joke?
Clovie
about guy falling dawn and ppl in the up asking if he is okay?
and he says he's ok..so they tell him to come back..
and he says that he can't....
so they ask why
and he says that he's still underway

Clovie
okay..
once again..
There are people climbing up some mountain.
and suddenly one guy is falling down.
so all the rest is yelling after him and asking if he is ok..
they're asking is he had broken his legs
and he says that he didn't
they're asking if he broken his arme
and he says that he didn't
so they're telling him to get up and go back to them
so he says "I can't, I'm still falling down"
makes more sense now? the previous version was the shorten one bag
btw it is ON topic

dave123
All objects with equal surface areas have the same terminal velocity - that is, they have the same maximum speed when falling.
Bond has a smaller surface area, and therefore a greater maximum speed.
He wouldn't actually be able to reach that speed though, TMK...
Clovie
and it doesn't have anything to do with how heavy these things are?
yerssot
you forgot to take into account the different winds and their power

yerssot
that are blowing through the mountains
Clovie
but they're rather random..
yerssot
so he got lucky in the movie
Clovie
it is the part that I've been always finding not real.
yerssot
really? I would think the Q gadgets did that

Clovie
he didn't have time to use any

yerssot
but it's not bond if it's not with Q

Clovie
tell that to Dr No.
yerssot
I'm sorry to tell you clovie, but he died more than fourty years ago

Clovie
WHAT? why didn't anyone inform me about his funeral? I'd have sent some flowers

yerssot
well, you could have send it with the initials J.B.

Clovie
what else?

Clovie
specre sent their flowers by themselves

yerssot
hey, it's aan elaborate scheme to get bond to fall faster than a plane

Clovie
it's conspiracy

yerssot
see! I never trusted Barbera!
yerssot
cause she doesn't know what she's doing
Clovie
maybe she does know, just all the other people don't understand her
yerssot
see, women are always a problem

yerssot
yup, just look at bond

Clovie
he seems to be a rather big problem imo...
yerssot
they'll solve it soon
Clovie
*waits*

*breaths*
yerssot
so it explains why he defies gravity too

yerssot
rrrrright

yerssot
and cause he's a superhero
Clovie
but he don't have 'super' powers..
yerssot
the power not to get hit

Clovie
but he'll never find true happiness
yerssot
I'm sure he did already a few times naughty
Clovie
it wasn't true happiness..it was following his second brain...
yerssot
happyness indeed

yerssot
oh, it's definitly happyness

Clovie
I would never know.
yerssot
you can look into the future? neat! will bond continue to defy gravity?
Clovie
of course. he's a hero.

yerssot
"And they say that a hero will save us..."
Clovie
from...?
you know there is end of the world in 2012? now it's official.
yerssot
so no more insane dives to try and defy gravity after 2012

Clovie
exactly. all this crap will end for good.
yerssot
we should make more bond movies then
yerssot
but tomorrow never dies

Clovie
it will die on another day...
yerssot
as long as it scares the living daylights out of people
Clovie
only when they're having a good view to a kill...
yerssot
only the people that come from russia with love
Clovie
but they won't live twice
yerssot
not if they don't have a man with the golden gun
Clovie
but with golden eye?
yerssot
for his eyes only though
Clovie
he must be having anice view to a kill..
yerssot
if he missed the shot, he shoudn't fear because he only lives twice
yerssot
oh don't be such a moonraker!
Clovie
it's fro your eyes only tongue10
yerssot
that hit like a thunderball
Clovie
but today it won't be enough...
yerssot
then lets go to the casino royal and earn some money
Clovie
I love the idea
(if only I didn't lost all my money

)
yerssot
you stopped using bondtitles! I win

Clovie
indeed
kisses and your prize is?
yerssot
that I can defy gravity for one day?

Clovie
ok

yerssot
when?

Clovie
as soon as you come here

yerssot
I'll rewatch Goldeneye then
