Terminal Velocity - A Level Physics

This video introduces and explains terminal velocity for A Level Physics.

When an object falls and is subject to a drag force then it will end up falling at a constant velocity. The terminal velocity of a human is around 55 m/s. However, terminal velocity isn't just for falling things. Here I explore this subject in more detail.

Thanks for watching,

Lewis

Thanks a lot for these videos, really helpful. The textbook we received is outdated and is horrible at explaining, but now it all makes sense.

[Mirsab]

I finally understood how/why something gets to terminal velocity! 🤗

[emaankhan]

I finally understand the concept! Thank you!

[anush]

Thmk make more animation explain it will be more better

[snowtime]

If the earth were made of gas all the way to the center, would we accelerate as we approach the core?

[Hdw]

Do you have any videos on answering exam questions??

[that-guy]

what would happen if one object is heavier than the other

[mariehill]

Just to clarify, is the velocity of an object free-falling increasing or decreasing as it gets to the ground?

[mehradakhondi]

who else looked up to see if those leafs are actually for apple trees

[lucarealmuto]

What is the formula for terminal velocity?

[saify]

smh, you killed a tree for a video... what has humanity lead us to ! ;(
