Demonstration

Terminal velocity. Set up an airtrack with the trolly and a large board at one end and a motion sensor at the other. The trolley is pulled by a mass and the board is used to create air resistance. Use the PASCO motion sensor to measure s-t.

Resources

Analysis

Create v-t and a-t graphs from the data and discuss the motion caused by the resultant force.

Equipment

1x airtrack 1x trolley 1x masses 1x PASCO motion sensor 1x large board

Safety

The masses must be free to fall without hitting anyone's foot.

Demonstration

Terminal vlocity. Barbie on a parachute from a high building.

Resources

Analysis

Discuss and identfy the forces acting on Barbie whilst in flight.

Equipment

Safety

Make sure there is no body below in the drop zone.
