When an object is falling, the two main forces acting on it are weight close weightA force that acts on mass, pulling it down, due to gravity. Weight is a force and forces are measured in newtons (N).

Uncover the scientific principles behind reaching terminal velocity and its implications for falling objects. Donald Trump's approval rating skyrockets with Hispanics King Charles Sends a Clear ...

Raindrops have been caught breaking the speed limit. Using drizzle detectors, researchers discovered tiny raindrops falling more than 1.3 times as fast as terminal velocity, the speed at which air ...

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 ...

Twitter person David Cox (@dcox21) asks: Read a random fact yesterday that said the "average rain drop falls at 17mph." Is that reasonable? Let the physics begin. You might think: hey, wont' the speed ...

In October of 1894, at a meeting of the French Academy of Sciences, the renowned physiologist Étienne-Jules Marey showed a series of photographs that sent his colleagues into collective uproar. In the ...

This isn’t really breaking news, but there was this story of a guy that dropped his iPhone 4 out of a plane. The man was quite happy to find his iPhone unharmed. It was partially protected by Griffin ...
