Synopsis: some basic concepts like gravity acceleration, uniform motion, terminal velocity, gravitational force, electric force and viscous force, coefficient of viscosity are presented. An activity is proposed in order to illustrate and exemplify, setting more dynamic way past content. It is available in two environments. At first, the student will find that a raindrop reaches terminal velocity after a certain decay time. In the second environment the student will use a simplified Millikan experiment to determine the electron charge.
