I had so much fun creating graphs for the Red Bull Stratos Space Jump calculation, that I figured I should make some more. Can you fall faster than terminal velocity? That is the question. Air ...

The video explains that due to their high surface area to volume ratio, air resistance limits an ant's acceleration, allowing it to reach a low terminal velocity that is generally non lethal, ...

Who knew this spring's soggy weather fell under the umbrella of physics research? Scientists found that when raindrops fall faster than physics predicts, the drops have actually broken into smaller ...

In simple terms, an object’s speed when falling through air depends on its shape and weight. For us, the highest, or terminal, velocity when falling near Earth’s surface is about 200 kilometres per ...
