Bumblebees fly, lights turn on, and you can ride a bike without falling over. We all know these things to be true, but what you may not know is the real reason behind why they work. Join Olivia to bust seven myths about motion.

What do raindrops look like? Exactly how we drew them as kids, right? Wrong! Teardrop-shaped rain is physically impossible. This week I went inside a vertical wind tunnel to bring you the true shape of rain.

Hank acknowledges the amazing feat performed by Felix Baumgartner and answers many of your questions about why it is so amazing.

The terminal velocity of an object is the speed at which the force of drag equals the force of gravity on that object.

Pupil outcome: I can clearly describe how drag forces affect the motion of falling objects. Key learning points: - The gravitational force on a falling object is constant. - The drag force on a falling obejct depends on its speed and...

Explore how drag force influences motion through fluids and learn how it leads to terminal velocity. Understand real-world applications, derivations, and the role of shape, size, and speed in Class 11 physics

The understanding is if the plane’s going down, you should be able to jump out with your parachute and float to safety. We DEBUNK the myths & misconceptions, explain the problems and show you what would really happen.

Jumping out of an airplane without a parachute is a last resort and should only be considered when there’s no other viable option of escape from an airplane that is “going downâ€. If you have to jump, it’s often recommended to look...

If a skydiver jumps out of a plane, when will they stop accelerating? Competing physical forces hold the answer. Physics - Forces - Learning Points. Terminal velocity is the maximum constant velocity. Terminal velocity increases with...

You wake and suddenly you're no longer on the plane! But what are your chances and how do you increase your odds of surviving a fall from the cruising altitude of an airliner?

A question we all ask ourselves every time a black cloud appears and starts rain down on you. So once and for all we investigated this daily quandary to find out the answer!

Join us as we explore the physics behind 'What goes up must come down!

Find out the best way to survive a 150 meter elevator fall, and at the same time learn about gravitational acceleration and understand Newton’s Laws. Your monthly dose of hypothetical physics scenarios is here, and today we’re dropping...

When Vector Man doesn’t stick to the plan, Ian’s true character appears… This lesson will investigate the drag force (including air resistance and water resistance), draw a velocity-time graph for a free falling object and calculate...

This problem is determining the velocity of an object falling with a drag force (in other words, the acceleration is not constant).

These are my solutions to the Multiple Choice section of the Mechanics portion of the 1998 AP Physics C released exam. AP® is a registered trademark of the College Board, which was not involved in the production of, and does not...

Calculus based review of equations I suggest you memorize for the AP Physics C: Mechanics Exam. Please realize I abhor memorization, however, there are a few equations which I do recommend you memorize. I also list equations NOT to...

The time constant is defined. The equations of motion for a dropped object in terms of the time constant are derived. The graphs for those equations are also shown. Want Lecture Notes?f='http://www.flippingphysics.com/drag-f...'...
