Free+fall+activities


 * Purpose** - Use motion detector to observe freefall and terminal velocity

1) Book and paper in classroom 2) Rock and feather on moon 3) Felix and Super Sonic freefall
 * Observations**:


 * Safety** - Don't fall off table

(sketch) || v-t graph shape (sketch) || average velocity (m/s) or change in velocity (m/s) || a-t graph shape (sketch) || average acceleration (m/s^2) ||  ||
 * Data** - Only when object is falling
 * Object || x-t graph shape

Explain the difference between terminal velocity and freefall.
 * Conclusion** -

State which items reached terminal velocity or continued in free fall. Include items that were in demonstrations, videos (observations) and those you dropped in class.

State a general method to determine whether an object has reached terminal velocity.
