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?

As a result, any object in free fall near Earth's surface accelerates at 9.81 m/s/s. The gravitational force acting on an object is not always equal to its weight. A free falling object experiences a ...

Neil deGrasse Tyson explains how gravity truly acts on falling objects, revealing the physics behind motion, acceleration, and why our everyday experience often hides the universe’s deeper rules. Home ...

Our motion perception is remarkably well tuned to detect small changes in speed and direction. For example, soccer goalkeepers need to precisely judge the speed, direction, and curvature of an ...
