What is the definition of terminal velocity?
Terminal velocity is the maximum velocity attainable by an object as it falls through a fluid. It occurs when the sum of the drag force and the buoyancy is equal to the downward force of gravity acting on the object. Since the net force on the object is zero, the object has zero acceleration.

Why does a diamond sparkle?
There is a very small angle of refraction, which allows for lots of reflection within the diamond (total internal reflection), and leaves only when the angle is at the normal, where it then disperses into its rainbow colors due to white being made up of all the said colors. Each color has a different wavelength and bends differently when exiting the diamond, which appears to be a sparkle.

Two trains, each having a speed of 30 km/h, are headed at each other on the same straight track. A bird that can fly 60 km/h flies off the front of one train when they are 60 km apart and heads directly for the other train. On reaching the other train, the bird flies directly back to the first train, and so forth. (We have no idea why a bird would behave in this way.) What is the total distance the bird travels before the trains collide?
60 km
