Comment on Question: Can I throw a squirrel faster than its terminal velocity?

Terminal velocity isn’t the fastest that an object can travel. It’s just the speed at which air resistance and gravity reach an equilibrium. So it’s 100% possible to accelerate something past its terminal velocity. Whether you’re capable of hurtling a pissed off ball of teeth and claws past that threshold is more a question of your abilities than it is of physics.
