| Aug 15, 2017 at 15:30 | comment | added | Baldrickk | Nice answer, but I can't help disliking that graph. Due to the way it displays its axis, it appears to show the first quadrant but instead shows the second, so appears to show that the vertical velocity is higher when moving. Could be fixed by using positive values for descent, or just labelling the x axis at the top (y=0). Not to take anything away from this answer, it's just unfortunate. | |
