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:

🌬️Terminal velocity is the point where the force of gravity pulling an object down is exactly balanced by the air resistance pushing up.

📉As seen in the data, increasing the number of filters increases both the mass and the terminal velocity, showing a direct correlation.

🏋️Heavier objects have more gravitational force, which allows them to overcome air resistance more effectively than lighter objects.

🚀This means they reach a higher terminal velocity and fall faster, demonstrating that in real-world conditions, mass does impact how quickly objects fall.

📌Core Message

Heavier objects generate more gravitational force, enabling them to surpass air resistance and achieve a greater terminal velocity than lighter ones.
