Terminal velocity is the maximum speed achieved by an object freely falling through a gas or liquid. At terminal velocity, the forces acting on the object are balanced so it is no longer accelerating.

Transmission between high speed and high force motions is a classic, but challenging problem for most engineering disciplines as well as robotics. This study optimizes the performances (i.e., both ...

A research team has recently devised a novel mechanism to transport droplets at record-high velocity and distance without extra energy input, and droplets can be moved upward along a vertical ...

The three dimensional force-velocity length diagram allows for greater generalization in the analysis of contraction of heart muscle than has been afforded by the analysis of force and velocity ...
