When you run forward fast tou will feel the air rushing past you. The faster you go the more you will feel the air. This is because to move forward you have to push the air ahead of you out of the way, the energy required to do this is called air resistance or drag. Simply put, a doubling of the speed of something moving though the air, quadruples the air resistance (the drag force) acting against its forward motion.

What do you need to calibrate a multimeter?

Technically, you don't. You need to calibrate a multimeter with something that is much more precise and accurate than a multimeter, such as a voltage, current, and resistance standard. Otherwise, it is not called a calibration.


If you drop a rock from a great height about how far will it fall after 3 seconds neglecting air resestance?

The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 meters (32.2 feet) per second2.After 3 seconds, the speed of the falling rock is 29.4 meters (96.6 feet) per second.The rock's average speed during the 3 seconds is 14.7 meters (48.3 feet) per second.The distance it has fallen = (average speed) x (time) = 44.1 meters (144.9 feet).
