The Fall That Stops Speeding Up
A skydiver steps out and gravity does what gravity does — but the air answers back, harder the faster she goes. This is the unit’s differential-equation showcase: write m·dv/dt = mg − bv, read it like a sentence, and watch the curve it predicts flatten onto a speed limit it never crosses.
