You sir have to to be the greatest teacher that came after Richard feynman. I went through highschool and now college by the help of your videos thank you.
No. Falling objects on Mars tend to move towards the center of Mars for instance. There's nothing special about Earth in that regard. Other factors such as wind can change the direction.
I always thought objects dropped from a height were in free fall and the reason they contact the ground is because the earth comes up to meet that object at 9.8m/s. 2.
I'm confused because I thought that acceleration just leveled off at a certain speed so you couldn't go faster in a certain speed when you're falling to the Earth so why is the curve a parabola
Because for the purposes of this video he is ignoring air resistance. In reality the upwards force due to air resistance increases the faster you fall until it balances the downwards force due to gravity. At that point you have reached terminal velocity and will stop accelerating.

This is probably one of the highest compliments anyone can give me, he’s one of my heroes!
Thanks!
Wow thank you so much! Many thanks!
THANK YOU... SIR...!!!
I have to review this lecture again to be memorized...!!!
Nice 👍
Thank you!
awesoooooooooooooooome
Galileo was so close to many things…
Does a falling object always tends to move towards the centre of the earth?
No. Falling objects on Mars tend to move towards the center of Mars for instance. There's nothing special about Earth in that regard. Other factors such as wind can change the direction.
The falling direction combines gravity, initial velocity and other secondary effects like Coriolis, etc. So the answer is no, never..

I think all objects fall at the same rate in vaccume.
It is confusing to call g gravity acceleration since the force mg (the weight) exists even without acceleration. Better to call it gravity intensity.

It is never a parabola
