Falling Through the Air

In this video of Felix Baumgartner's jump from 24 miles of the ground, he demonstrates free fall when he is falling towards the earth. Baumgartner reached an estimated speed of 1,342.8 km/h jumping from the stratosphere, which made him the first man to break the speed of sound in freefall. Baumgartner was no longer in free fall when he opened his parachute. When he first jumped out, he started gaining speed very quickly, and once he reached terminal velocity, he continued at that speed until he opened his parachute.

Newton's Second Law Resource

In this video, the idea of Newton's Second Law is introduced. It talks first about what the law is and then goes on to explain everyday example in real life, such as being pushed on a swing or hitting an object. This video helped me because I was able to see Newtons Second Law being applied in situations I am in everyday. I was able to apply what I knew from the lab and then add on to that by seeing these examples and how they are directly related.
