Science Coursework In this experiment I am investigating terminal velocity using paper cake cases. Terminal velocity is when two forces which are working against each, other on a moving object, are the same force. Therefore the object has reached its top speed as it will be unable 2 accelerate anymore, this is known as terminal velocity. Planning In this experiment I am planning on measuring the terminal velocity created by paper cake cases when dropped in the air. I will measure the case/cases from different heights and analyse whether these variables have an effect on the terminal velocity. In this experiment there are several variables which can be changed in order to complete my investigation. However I will concentrate on two and use them as the variables which I will change. The possible variables are: * Height the paper case is dropped from * Weight of the paper case * Force the case is dropped with * Surface...
