Today is exciting, because Jessi and Squeaks are making parachutes! Tag along to learn how you can make your own, and what forces are being used to make your parachute work!

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

From skydiving to recess, parachutes are used for fun and safety. So how do parachutes work to slow down people in the sky, or make a fun bubble to play in? Join Squeaks and Jessi as they show you how forces allow parachutes to do their...

Howcast -You've jumped from a plane and your parachute didn't open. Don't panic -- if there's another skydiver nearby whose chute hasn't yet been deployed, you can try these steps.

Skydiving Formation Record:Four hundred international skydivers, known as the 'World Team,' participate in the largest formation freefall in Thailand, showcasing precision and coordination.

Jumping from space is considered to be quite a task. And with good reason! Because no one has ever done it, or even attempted it. Red bulls sponsored a high-altitude jump performed by Felix Baumgartner, and it was famously called a...

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...

Henry meets a Parachute in an aeroplane hanger/flight school. it looks like a little duffle bag with a rip cord attached. Henry learns all about skydiving, parachutes and how they work. Parachute wants to do the worlds highest skydive...

This video explains the concept of terminal velocity using velocity time graphs. The video starts with a brief recap of how the force acting on a free falling object changes over time. The video then explains how air resistance affects a...

This video explores the behavior of objects when they fall under gravity. It starts with a quick recap of Newton's Second Law, which explains the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration. The video then looks at how weight is...

This live-action video program is about the word pull. The program is designed to reinforce and support a student's comprehension and retention of the word pull through use of video footage, photographs, diagrams and colorful, animated...

Austrian skydiver Felix Baumgartner became set a world record for highest skydive and became the first human to break the sound barrier without the aid of a machine when he dove from 24 miles above the Earth on Sunday.

The video is a lecture on acceleration and how we quantify the rate of change of an object's velocity. The presenter discusses the concept of acceleration, how it is measured, and the equation used to calculate it. Examples are provided...

Luke Aikens jumped from 7,620 metres (25,000 feet) without a parachute, landing in a safety net in California

The Orange County Technical Rescue helped untangle a skydiver stuck in a tree.
