Practice Question
A group of students perform an experiment to test terminal velocity, which is the greatest speed obtained by a falling object. The students dropped different numbers of coffee filters and measured the resulting terminal velocity. Which of the following conclusions is supported by the data in the following data table?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
Heavier objects fall faster than lighter objects.
Rationale:
🔹 The table shows that as the mass increases (from 1.01 g to 5.01 g), the terminal velocity also increases (from 1.74 m/s to 3.80 m/s).
🔹 This demonstrates a direct relationship: heavier objects reach higher terminal velocities, meaning they fall faster once terminal velocity is achieved.
🔹 Terminal velocity is the point where gravitational force equals air resistance, causing no further acceleration.
🔹 The data supports the conclusion that increased mass results in faster falling speed under terminal velocity conditions.
