When an object falls it can reach terminal velocity. Find out more with BBC Bitesize. For students between the ages of 11 and 14.
Tyler Wilde provides commentary followed by the original text of our Terminal Velocity review from the October 1995 issue of PC Gamer US.
The inadequacy of previous calculations of terminal velocities at other than sea level conditions is discussed. Attention is called to actual measurements of terminal velocities at different air ...
Unknown mechanism causes tiny raindrops to fall faster than terminal velocity.
But [The Action Lab] recently explored the physics behind the air umbrella and why it wouldn’t be very practical. (Video, embedded below.) Notice we said not very practical, not unworkable.
The investigative minds at Debunked explain the science behind the terminal velocity of a falling human body.
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 ...
