Comment on Its diving speed during flight is more than 300 km (186 miles) per hour, making it not only the world’s fastest bird but also the world’s fastest animal.
Since gravity isn’t affected by weight, they’d both be the same speed, no?
but larger things have larger mass to area ratio so larger things experience less drag per weight thus resulting in higher terminal velocity
yes, but supposing a perfectly spherical hawk…
