Have the students use a stopwatch and meter stick to determine the terminal velocity for a variety of parachute drops. |
Overnight, the margin for error was reduced to almost zero, since nobody wants to overtake his own bodily excretions as he reaches terminal velocity. |
At terminal velocity, of course, these jumpers open a parachute and float to the ground. |
He starts to fall, picks up speed, and accelerates to near his terminal velocity in the first 10 seconds. |
Raindrops fall at a much lower terminal velocity, and a mist of tiny oil droplets settles at an exceedingly small terminal velocity. |
There are signs that the art market reached terminal velocity in 2015, and is now starting to slow down. |
