In the past months a Boeing 737 Max 9 It had to make an emergency landing 35 minutes after takeoff due to a surprising problem. was left. An interesting iPhone detail also made a splash in this regard.
For those who have forgotten, Alaska Airlines’ Boeing 737 Max 9 passenger plane had to return to Portland after a piece of the fuselage, including a window, broke off 35 minutes after takeoff. Here is an interesting thing later regarding this incident. iPhone detail on the agenda had come. An iPhone, which fell into the bush (from a height of 16 thousand feet) through the hole opened in the fuselage of the plane, was found working where it fell. So how exactly did this happen? How did the iPhone survive? First of all, the device with the case did not fall on a hard surface, this was definitely the biggest help. But still, the phone crashed from a really high height, so how did it survive? As far as reported, in such cases, it does not matter how high the phone falls, here “terminal velocity” or as translated into Turkish “terminal speed” comes into play, in its simplest form Gravity and the drag force that occurs during descent start to push each other in the opposite direction, stabilizing the fall speed. Here’s the Wiki about it: being transferred:

“As the speed of an object increases, the drag force acting on it, which depends on the substance it passes through (for example, air or water), also increases. At a given speed, the drag or resistance force becomes equal to the gravitational force on the object. At this point the object stops accelerating. It also continues to decline at a constant rate, called the terminal velocity (also called the settling velocity). An object moving downward faster than terminal velocity (e.g. because it is thrown downward, falls through a thinner part of the atmosphere, or changes shape) slows down until it reaches terminal speed. “
