An experiment into terminal velocity by dropping a cup cake case This experiment is to investigate into terminal velocity. We will be doing this by dropping a cup cake case and calculating the terminal velocity, and deriving an equation for this. When these results are plotted onto a graph, I predict that there will be a constant increase in velocity due to the drag eventually being out balanced by the weight and causing the case to accelerate towards the ground. Apparatus * Meter ruler * stopwatch * cup cakes case * stand and clamp Method We set the experiment up so that the meter ruler was vertical to the ground using clamps and stands. Then at 7 intervals on the ruler, we timed how long it took for the case to land on the floor from the selected height. This experiment had little variables but we had to make sure that we did not change the...
