Episode 208: Preparation for Drag Forces
From the Institute of Physics, this topic concerns resistive forces against motion. It begins by considering drag forces in general before shifting the focus to air resistance. Students look at the forces such as up-thrust, drag, air resistance and terminal velocity. Following the topic, students should be able to explain the acceleration of a body up to terminal velocity in terms of the forces acting on the body.
There is one learning episode in this topic:
