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 ...

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?

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 ...

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 ...
