13th Amendment:

Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, -except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted-, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.

Basically says: “slavery is illegal unless it is used as a punishment for a crime”.

California was voting to override the 13th Amendment it seems

I imagine terminal velocity with no air resistance would be 9.8m/s/s. I was saying that the feather reaches terminal velocity more quickly than a bowling ball in non-vacuum conditions

I haven’t seen anyone mention this yet, so here’s how I understand it. The feather falls slower in non-vacuum conditions because it reaches its terminal velocity much more quickly than the bowling ball.

Edit: terminal velocity: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terminal_velocity
