Great question! When air resistance and gravity balance out, we reach what’s called terminal velocity. At this point, the forces are equal, so we stop accelerating but continue falling at a constant speed. That’s why it feels like we’re falling slowly-it’s actually because we’re no longer speeding up! 😊 Keep exploring science-these concepts are fascinating!
In 2012 Felix Baumgartner broke the speed of sound while in free fall, so that 120 mph limit is not true. His free fall speed was captured on radar at 843.6 mph.
It's important to understand that you aren't MOVING backwards; you are ACCELERATING backwards. You are simply SLOWING DOWN. It's no different than hitting your brakes in your car. When you slam on the brakes in a car, you are pulled TOWARD THE FRONT of the car - - as if you were moving backwards. Obviously, you're not. You're just SLOWING DOWN at a rapid rate. You are ACCELERATING backwards; you aren't MOVING backwards.
Great, apart from referring the "the" force of gravity. Which one? Every object has a huge number of forces of gravity acting on it, one for every other object in the Universe. That is why the force of gravity with the Earth gets a special name (weight) to distinguish it from all the other forces of gravity.
"weight" is not unique to Earth either. It's just assumed that you are referencing something's weight with reference to the Earth and not a potato. For the same reason, when people talk about "the force of gravity", it is assumed they are referring to the force with regard to the Earth. In other words, if you want to say that "force of gravity" is ambiguous simply because all objects gravitational interact with all other objects, then "weight" is just as ambiguous for literally the exact same reason.
Yup, I probably should have specified weight is the name given to the gravitational force between an object and the nearest massive object. Which of course for all but a handful of humans has meant the Earth.
One question, if air resistance and gravity is balanced, then net force is zero... So what is making us continue to fall rather than staying still in the air?
“An object in motion stays in motion unless a force acts upon it otherwise/an object at rest will stay at rest unless a force acts upon it otherwise.” - Newton’s second (don’t quote me on the number) law
As aero says - - - an object in motion stays in motion. When there are no forces, it does not mean something won't MOVE. It means it won't ACCELERATE. A force causes a CHANGE in the STATE of motion. If there is no force, then there is no CHANGE in motion. If you are going 60 mph and there are no forces acting on you, you will just continue to go 60 mph UNTIL something makes you speed up or slow down. You STATE of motion won't CHANGE.
@@Suha_Irshad_0525Not necessarily. When your acceleration decreases it can go from 3m/s squared to 1m/s squared, but though acceleration is decreasing the velocity is still increasing but just at a slower rate.
It is not the force OF gravity, but the force DUE to gravity.
Thank you, here all week.
This guy knows his physics. 👍 a lot more than you. Please let him teach it next time.
Bro, ate with this comment fr. Ong.😎
@@jurdie2 ng science scared you gonna debunk all their videos. Shivering in their boots at the sight of you 🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶.

They shivering in their timbers
this is so informative and has clear explanations
omg omg omg omg ty
Why
@@shadowz6istakenHe/She is saying that because he/she finally knows it
😂😂😂
Interesting video 😊
Stop looking here focus on the video
Great video
Wowwww her sound, accent and also she is cool and she explained it so welll!!👏👏
it's an AI voice, nobody is speaking.
@@toiletpaper2974 r u fr?
@@birukdamtew yeah, it's a AI, they typed it into a software that reads it out loud, and use it i the video.
It’s ai 💀
@@toiletpaper2974
Are you sure? Because if that's the case, AI poses a risk of taking those jobs away from real people!
Plz keep up the great work,really you teach well😊
👏👏👏👏👏👏
To good😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
Ty ❤
very nicely done
Idk why learning about this fascinates me
Tysmm for this video!!
Thanks your the second best channel for teaching in my opinion
What is the first best 👀?
thanks!!! i really understand now
Best physics teacher.

Thank you so much!

Thanks thanks thankss I finally got it

Not affected by mass per se, more accurate would be density (better yet: ratio of mass to surface area presented to airflow, think "feather").
I have a question ❓
When air resistance and gravity force balanced so then they cancel each others forces so why then we still falling slowly.!!?

Why does the object accelerate upwards when the parachute first opens?
Cause air resistance acts on it(idk😭)

This is why driving at high speed gives poor mpg.
I always thought terminal velocity ment speed plus distance fallen equals death Regardless if you hit anything
You aren't slowing down, your acceleration is decreasing.
When acceleration decreses velocity also decrease right? So it being slowed down isn't??
@@Suha_Irshad_0525Not necessarily. When your acceleration decreases it can go from 3m/s squared to 1m/s squared, but though acceleration is decreasing the velocity is still increasing but just at a slower rate.
doing it without a parachute will kill you.
thats crazy bro
@@blueskymaster8132 What is?
@MelissaPeck-in9tq I never knew doing it without a parachute could kill u
@@blueskymaster8132 The impact causes it.
Well obviously
