Terminal Velocity in Skydiving and Free Fall - Module 6-10
Physics with Professor Matt Anderson via YouTube
Overview
Learn about the fascinating physics concept of terminal velocity through a concise physics lecture that explains why skydivers experience a sensation of "floating" rather than falling during their descent. Explore how objects reach a constant velocity during free fall, despite the initial acceleration due to gravity, and understand the forces that create this equilibrium state. Discover why experienced skydivers describe their experience as floating instead of falling, and grasp the fundamental principles behind this important physics phenomenon in just 11 minutes.
