Terminal Velocout Flashcards
How to use fluid method with RUBBER BANDS
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
What must you do when pouring viscous fluid
Allow it to settle so all bubbles move out
Why to use taller beaker
Will mean terminal velocity is seen longer
Why to increase spacing on rubber bands
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
How to remove ball easily for repeats
Use hormone magent to take out without mess
Alternatively how to use camera
Slow mo camera move along , every second displacment and find velocity
When taking magent out using magent, what’s consideration about dropping on side, thus what should you do
Consideration is that it might run against the side and speed up, so take out and use forceps to drop right on top
