Terminal+Velocity

Free Fall and Terminal Velocity Measuring Terminal Velocity 1. Choose two objects to analyze, one from each bin. 2. Drop the objects from a height of 5 meters. Record the time. 3. Calculate the average velocity for the falling object. 4. Determine if the object reaches terminal velocity when dropped from a height of 5 m. How did your time value compare to the theoretical free fall value of 1 second? 5. What is the object's maximum velocity in m/s? How did you reach this answer?  6. Record your values on the googleform linked on our class web page.
