Raindrops aren’t teardrop-shaped—they’re more like hamburger buns, shaped by surface tension and air resistance as they fall ...

The faster you drive, the more air tries to push you back, a phenomenon you may know from putting your hand out the window of a moving car. Discover the clever ways cars overcome this challenge in ...

A "metal object" that fell from an Indian Air Force (IAF) aircraft caused severe damage to a house in Madhya Pradesh's Shivpuri district on Friday, but nobody was injured, police said.

Air signs don't fall in love the way others do—they think about it, they talk about it, and they question it. And then surprise you with something magical and surprising.

The company is tasked with using artificial intelligence to analyze 4.5 million nightly observations from a global sensor network that tracks 14,500 satellites and other objects in space.

This proper acceleration, ap, forms the basis of our model and will be compared with the accelerometer measurements. From Eq. (2), we can derive an important consequence of air resistance during fall: ...

The secret behind how the International Space Station remains in orbit can be traced all the way back to the genius of Sir Isaac Newton.

A broad, flat object, on the other hand, will tend to fall more slowly than a narrow, round one. This is because a broad, flat object has a greater surface area for air molecules to push against. You ...

Researchers at ETH Zurich have developed an airshield within the space of a few months that facilitates a new type of high-speed training – running without air resistance. The Airshield is a U-shaped ...

Ants don't get hurt when they fall due to gravitational force and air resistance balancing out their descent.

Sep. 14—Lurking underground in the middle of Albuquerque is a massive Air Force jet fuel plume that contaminates soils and groundwater, with no cleanup officially planned a quarter-century after ...
