Terminal Velocout

Question 1

How to use fluid method with RUBBER BANDS

Answer 1

1) use glass cylinder
2) Place a VISCOUS fluid like bubble bath ( not messy)
3) clam a ruler next to cylinder set sqaure etc
4) wrap RUBBER BANDS of equal displacment
5) measure time taken to go through each one
6) as we know distance find thr VELOCOTY average between each one , and then plot velocity and time

Velocity where graph tends to is final velocity

Question 2

What must you do when pouring viscous fluid

Answer 2

Allow it to settle so all bubbles move out

Question 3

Why to use taller beaker

Answer 3

Will mean terminal velocity is seen longer

Question 4

Why to increase spacing on rubber bands

Answer 4

Reduced uncertiwnh for both distance measured and the time between each, but not too much such that point where terminal velocity is found is removed

Question 5

How to remove ball easily for repeats

Answer 5

Use hormone magent to take out without mess

Question 6

Alternatively how to use camera

Answer 6

Slow mo camera move along , every second displacment and find velocity

Question 7

When taking magent out using magent, what’s consideration about dropping on side, thus what should you do

Answer 7

Consideration is that it might run against the side and speed up, so take out and use forceps to drop right on top

Question 8

Cupcake?

Answer 8

Drop cupcake in chclindee, and measure
