Why are some athletes able to crush world records when other records remain unbroken for years? The answer has to do with the kind of materials used in the competition and the type of athletic event one is competing in. Hank Green...

The cross sectional area of the drag force demonstrated.

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

Join us as we unravel the intricacies of LR circuits and explore their analogies to object motion. Bo's thought-provoking question sparks a discussion on the meaning of equations for the derivative of current as a function of time. Mr. P...

In a well-known TV show, a team of experts conducted an experiment to determine the effectiveness of water as a shield against bullets. They used different types of firearms, such as a 9mm pistol, shotgun, M1 Garand semi-automatic...

Examine how the number of parachutes affects the terminal velocity of a model crew capsule as it lands on Earth.

Dive into the world of viral videos where breathtaking feats challenge belief. From a wingsuit flyer allegedly landing on water without a parachute to a teenager sending a toy to the stratosphere, we explore the science that supports...

Calculus based review of Newton’s three laws, basic forces in dynamics such as the force of gravity, force normal, force of tension, force applied, force of friction, free body diagrams, translational equilibrium, the drag or resistive...

The results are in – gravity is weaker than it should be! Lotus is certain that someone is digging a giant cave underneath the Big Apple, but Mark isn’t convinced. Who do you think is correct? This lesson will assess the accuracy,...

If you hold your feet flat or point them, does it change how far you slide. This video shows the answer and explains why using the concept of drag force.

AP Physics C: Electricity and Magnetism review LR circuits including the basics of how an LR circuit works, the limits, derivations of current as a function of time and time rate of change of current as a function of time, graphs...

In this video, we discuss the terminal velocity calculations shown in Mark Rober's "Egg Drop From Space" video, and suggest ways to make the work more clear and easier to understand. We also provide a more detailed solution to the...

The position, velocity, and acceleration as a function of time equations for a dropped ball with a drag force acting on it are derived. The graphs for those equations are also shown. Want Lecture
