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).

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 ...

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 ...
