Learn how to simulate a falling ball under linear air resistance! 🏀💨 This video walks you through modeling the motion of a falling object while accounting for air resistance proportional to velocity ...

In many physics problems, we simply ignore the air drag force. Why? Because of two reasons. First, the effects of air drag are often small when dealing with falling balls and rolling carts (a staple ...

WASHINGTON, D.C., October 11, 2016 -- By carefully observing scenes as simple as leaves falling from trees or dandelion seeds blowing in the wind, we can see diverse "falling styles" that include ...

Veritasium and Adam Savage team up to show off the physics of falling objects. First question: will a penny thrown from the Empire State Building kill you?

In an experiment that puts the good old-fashioned egg drop to shame, European physicists dropped a small blob of ultracold atoms down a 146-meter-tall shaft. The result: no yolk on their face. In the ...

It’s been demonstrated since the 1500s that, when falling toward a certain body, objects fall at the same rate. Everyone from Galileo in Pisa to David Scott on the moon demonstrated that. But what if ...

A team of EPFL researchers has developed an AI algorithm that can model complex dynamical processes while taking into account the laws of physics—using Newton's third law. Their research is published ...

James Clerk Maxwell conducted some of the first documented studies of free-falling objects during the mid-1800s, when the physicist analyzed the tumbling motion of a freely falling plate. But much ...
