Wildes Law

Wildes Law states that the speed at which a falling object reaches its maximum velocity (terminal velocity) depends on its weight and size. Specifically, heavier or larger objects tend to fall faster because they overcome air resistance more easily. For example, a heavier object like a hammer will generally hit the ground before a lighter feather, assuming no other factors. The law highlights the relationship between an object's properties and the forces of gravity and air resistance, helping to predict how quickly different objects fall under similar conditions.
