What is Air Resistance? + Terminal Velocity
No matter where you are on earth, gravity is basically exactly the same. So why then does a bowling ball hit the ground before a feather?

What is acceleration?
ACCELERATION IS THE CHANGE IN VELOCITY OVER TIME, JUST LIKE SPEED IS THE CHANGE IN DISTANCE OVER TIME. Have you ever been on a roller coaster? They start off slow. You can move around and lean forward in your seat with almost no energy, but when they start to speed up, like at the first … Continue reading What is acceleration?
