_______is the essential force in bringing you down the zipline.
Gravity is the essential force in bringing you down the zipline.
______is one of the forces that slows you down on the zipline. When ziplining, you travel down the line on a piece of gear called a trolley.
Friction is one of the forces that slows you down on the zipline. When ziplining, you travel down the line on a piece of gear called a trolley.
The riders are given gloves so that as they near the end of the line, they can slide their hand on the line to slow themselves down and that is called _____.

________ is another force working to slow you down on the zipline. A lot of factors go into the air resistance that you experience while traveling down the line.
Air Resistance is another force working to slow you down on the zipline. A lot of factors go into the air resistance that you experience while traveling down the line.
______ = (constant k)(velocity)2 =(air density)(drag)(area)2(velocity)2.
Air Resistance = (constant k)(velocity)2 =(air density)(drag)(area)2(velocity)2.
Why does the heavier person go faster down a zipline?
the person that's heavier goes down the zipline faster because the gravity+mass =acceleration
______ is always acting against the direction of travel, so you may notice your speed leveling out as you get further down the line.
Air resistance is always acting against the direction of travel, so you may notice your speed leveling out as you get further down the line.
When the _______reaches a certain point, that is when the object reaches terminal velocity: the maximum speed of travel for that object in those conditions.
When the air resistance reaches a certain point, that is when the object reaches terminal velocity: the maximum speed of travel for that object in those conditions.
The faster an object is traveling, the more ___________ it will experience.
The faster an object is traveling, the more air resistance it will experience.
This complicated equation can be explained by three things: the surface area of the traveling object, the speed of that object on the line, and some constants including _________and________

________on a zipline doesn’t quite have the same effect as it would if you stepped off without a line.
Gravity on a zipline doesn’t quite have the same effect as it would if you stepped off without a line.
________ always pulls directly toward the ground, so when you’re falling on an incline, your __________due to gravity decreases.
Gravity always pulls directly toward the ground, so when you’re falling on an incline, your acceleration due to gravity decreases.
