Engine power is constrained at superspeedways like Daytona and Talladega, so teams use aerodynamics to gain an advantage. Teams adjust their cars to minimize drag, but then it's up to the drivers to find 'the draft' and to trust the...

Brian Cox visits NASA's Space Power Facility to demonstrate what happens when a bowling ball and a feather are dropped together under the conditions of space. [4:41]

In this episode of Crash Course Kids, Sabrina Cruz dempstrates that the rate at which things fall to Earth has to do with air resistance, and takes viewers on a trip to the moon. [3:32]

In this episode of Crash Course Kids, the host does her own astronaut experiment to show us how to prove the existance of air resistance. [4:00]

Kids have many ideas about how and why things fall based on their daily life experiences. However, many of these ideas are misconstrued. Learn from this video how to clear up these misunderstandings about gravity and help your students...

Presents an analysis of a problem where a brick and a feather are dropped on the moon to see which would hit the ground sooner. This is compared to the gravity on the Earth, where the air resistance on the objects would produce a...

Video lesson serves as a primer on identifying balanced and unbalanced forces. [8:11]

Video lecture explores deriving a formula for maximum projectile displacement as a function of elapsed time. [7:09]

Practice some problems using Newton's second law of motion, when accounting for the force of air resistance. [5:58]

A narrated tutorial which explains Newton's second law of motion when air resistance is taken into account. [6:43]

This narrated lesson explains how Newton's second law of motion changes when air resistance is considered with falling objects. [6:42]

A video explaining that terminal velocity exists when the force of gravity equals the force of drag on an object. Video shows how terminal velocity exists in a wind tunnel. [4:08]

This lesson demonstrates how to make calculations with Newton's second law of motion when air resistance is taken into account. It is 2 of 2 in the series titled "Using Newton's Second Law w/ Air Resistance."

This lesson introduces the concept of air resistant and explains why it is a force. It is 2 of 2 in the series titled "Air Resistance."

This lesson introduces the concept of air resistant and explains why it is a force. It is 1 of 2 in the series titled "Air Resistance."

Mr. Andersen shows you how to draw free body diagrams of various objects. The major forces (like gravity, normal, tension, friction, air resistance, etc.) are discussed and then applied to various problems.
