You both flunk.  :-(  Acceleration is delta-velocity divided by
delta-time.  Delta = change in.  So velocity, when starting from
rest, is merely acceleration times TIME.  There's nothing squared
in that. (Assuming a vacuum and constant acceleration, etc.)
Perhaps you guys were thinking DISTANCE.  DISTANCE = .5 times
ACCELERATION times TIME^2.
I don't have the formulas for calculating terminal velocity in
real life. Maybe Bill Frenchu will share them with us. Given the
bullet's sectional density and ballistic coefficient, it should
be able to be determined.
