Gravity and Speed

Gravity on Earth pulls objects down at a staggering 9.8 meters per second, making it feel like you're carrying the weight of seven Mindys when you run. The concept of terminal velocity reveals that a free-falling human can reach speeds of about 53 meters per second, comparable to the fastest roller coaster in America. On the moon, gravity is weaker, allowing astronauts to bounce around as if they were in a bouncy castle, showcasing the fascinating differences in gravitational forces across planets.
