In the following tutorial, students will learn how to express mathematically the drag force and also discuss its applications. They will also define terminal velocity and determine the terminal velocity given mass.

This site from NASA uses a colorful graphic to illustrate why objects reach terminal velocity. Provides equation for the terminal velocity of an object. Graphic is accompanied by a simple explanation.

A map showing the terminal moraine of the second glacial epoch east of the Great Lakes region, including the glacial landscape features of Cape Cod and Nantucket, Long Island, the Catskills and Finger Lakes, and the extreme terminal...

A map of the terminal moraine of the second glacial epoch in the Great Lakes region, including the drift bearing area, the generalized directions of glacial movement, the direction of glacial striae, and the locations of prominent...

A amp from 1911 showing the terminal moraines along Long Island in black.

A map from 1882 of the drift bearing area in the northern United States and Canada, showing the generalized directions of glacial movement, the direction of glacial striae, and the locations of prominent terminal moraines.

This program and activity sheets allow teachers and students to explore both terminated and repeating decimal forms of any fraction (within limits). This version 1.0 allows for one conversion but can be rerun indefinitely.

Examine experiences and thoughts about death, specifically about the death of a loved one, terminal illness and bereavement support groups. Explore poetry or songs about death and dying and discuss the writer's intent and students' own...

In this exercise students will select the electron-pair geometry for a molecule and drag it onto the central atom. Then they will place the terminal atoms in the appropriate positions on the molecule. Finally students will enter the...

Read about the three-phase process of protein synthesis. This resource includes helpful diagrams and detailed information about initiation, 3 steps of elongation, and termination.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Batteries have both an ideal internal voltage and a terminal voltage, which is less due to internal resistance. This lesson presents sample problems and a video...

An in-depth looks at how transcription works including initiation, elongation, and termination.

Students review the definition of rational numbers as ratios and as terminating and repeating decimals. They also examine the reciprocal property of rational numbers and operations with rational numbers.

Determine the internal resistance of a battery based on the graph of terminal voltage vs. current. Also find the maximum current and the electrochemical potential.

Students use the Motion Detector to measure the effect of air resistance on falling objects. They determine how air resistance and mass affect the terminal velocity of a falling object and then choose a force model that fits the data.

The purpose of this activity is to recreate the classic egg-drop experiment with an analogy to the Mars rover landing. The concept of terminal velocity will be introduced, and students will perform several velocity calculations. Also,...

This lesson in high school physics on Newton's Second Law of Motion provides a discussion of free fall and air resistance, and answers, "Why do objects which encounter air resistance ultimately reach a terminal velocity?" and "In...

Visit New Zealand's Tasman Glacier terminal lake for a fascinating glacial encounter. Find a tab dedicated to information about the park in addition to recent news.

This lesson goes into greater depth on the translation portion of protein synthesis. Specifically, it covers the basics of translation, codons, and stages of translation - initiation and elongation and termination.
