1. Hold a single coffee filter in your hand. Release it and watch it fall to the ground. Next, put two filters together and release them. Did two filters fall faster, slower, or at the same rate as one filter? What kind of mathematical relationship do you predict will exist between the velocity of fall and the number of filters?
2. If there was no air resistance, how would the rate of fall of a coffee filter compare to the rate of fall of a baseball (faster, slower, or the same)?
3. Define A-1terminal velocity.A-1
4. When the filter reaches terminal velocity, what is the net force acting upon it?
5. Sketch a distance-time graph for an accelerating object.
