  1. Let's Study Air Resistance—With Coffee Filters

    By fitting a linear function to this part of the data, I can get the velocity of the filter—which would be the terminal velocity. For this particular run you can see the slope is 1.730 m/s.

  2. PDF Air Resistance: Coffee Filters

    Air Resistance: Coffee Filters Drag Force Terminal velocity Derivation for lab Sample Data Pre-lab ... Find drag coefficient of an 1.64- g coffee filter in free fall. Using slope of fit find drag coefficient. Title: Air Resistance: Coffee Filters Created Date:

  3. Terminal Velocity of Coffee Filters

    As objects move faster, they encounter more air resistance. When the amount of upward air resistance force is equal to the downward gravity force, the object encounters a balance of forces and is said to have reached a terminal velocity. Determine the terminal velocity of a coffee filter using a motion sensor. Increase the mass of the falling ...

  4. 107 Unit 2/3 Lab: Testing a Terminal Speed Hypothesis

    The terminal speed for coffee filters is much slower than for bodies and they will typically reach terminal speed in less than 2 meters of drop distance. These properties will make our experiment reasonable to perform in the lab. Your hypothesis was about an object's terminal speed and mass in general, not about bodies specifically, so a ...

    Terminal Velocity Experiment Apparatus 6 coffee filters 2 stop watches 1 metre stick Figure 1 As shown here this is the setup of our apparatus which includes a person holding the coffee filter at ceiling height and letting it free fall back down to the ground while our timer and recorder takes down the time. Conducting the Experiment

  6. PDF Experiment on Drag

    coffee filters. During free fall, the coffee filter will have two forces acting on it: the weight, mg, and air resistance, cv2 or bv. The free body diagram below illustrates the forces acting on the coffee filter. Applying Newton's 2nd-law we get . At terminal velocity a = 0, therefore . So,= mg = bv or mg = cv2, depending on which relationship

  7. PhysicsLAB: Terminal Velocity

    Purpose: The purpose of this lab was to find the relationship between an object's terminal velocity and its mass.Terminal velocity occurs when the weight of the object (our coffee filters) exactly equals the upwardly directed air resistance. Air resistance depends on the object's surface area and its velocity.

  8. PhysicsLAB: Falling Coffee Filters

    Each group needs three stacks of filters (1 filter, 2 filters, 4 filters) and two meter sticks. The purpose of the lab is to discover the release height for each group of filters that will enable two groups, which have reached terminal velocity, to reach the floor at the same time.

  9. Terminal Velocity > Experiment 6 from Vernier Video Analysis: Motion

    In this experiment, you will examine the motion of a falling object where air drag is significant. Using the Vernier Video Analysis app, you will analyze a video of falling coffee filters. Since these coffee filters have little mass and a relatively large surface area, the effect of air drag is particularly noticeable. You will investigate features of the position vs. time and velocity vs ...

  10. Air Resistance > Experiment 13 from Physics with Vernier

    In this experiment, you will measure terminal velocity as a function of mass for falling coffee filters and use the data to choose between the two models for the drag force. Coffee filters were chosen because they are light enough to reach terminal velocity in a short distance. Objectives
