Resistive Forces

Resistive Forces: This lecture covers resistive forces such as air drag. It includes the viscous (linear in velocity) and pressure (quadratic in velocity) terms. Quantitative demonstrations with balloons and with ball bearings dropped in syrup are shown. He concludes with numerical calculations of air drag examples, also discussing the contribution of air drag to the quantitative experiments down earlier in the course with falling apples.
