Describe an experiment to demonstrate terminal velocity. Say what measurements you need to take in your experiment to show that a falling object has reached terminal speed.
Answer (1)
To demonstrate terminal velocity, perform an experiment by dropping a small ball and a parachute from a height, measuring the time it takes for each to reach the ground. Record multiple trials to determine when the time stabilizes, indicating that the object has achieved terminal speed. Measurements should include drop height and time taken, showing the balance of forces at terminal velocity. ;
