When an object is falling, the two main forces acting on it are weight close weightA force that acts on mass, pulling it down, due to gravity. Weight is a force and forces are measured in newtons (N).

If a velocity-time graph of the motion shows a rising or falling line, this means that the velocity is changing. Therefore the forces acting must be unbalanced, and the skydiver is accelerating or ...

I had so much fun creating graphs for the Red Bull Stratos Space Jump calculation, that I figured I should make some more. Can you fall faster than terminal velocity? That is the question. Air ...
