Wonder Woman and Superman fly to an altitude of 1630 km, carrying between them a chest full of jewels that they intend to put into orbit around Earth. They want to make this tempting treasure inaccessible to their evil enemies who are trying to gain possession of it, yet keep it available for themselves for future use when they retire and settle down. But perhaps the time to retire is now! They accidentally drop the chest, which leaves their weary hands at rest, and discover that they are no longer capable of catching it as it falls into the Pacific Ocean. At what speed does the chest impact the surface of the water? Ignore air resistance, although in the real world it would make a world of difference.
