What a Drag! : Lab Report
Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to demonstrate that air resistance affects the velocity of a falling object and when it hits the ground.
Hypothesis: I hypothesize that the plain piece of paper will fall slower than the crumpled paper, coin....
Gravity and Air resistance
As an object falls through air, it usually encounters some degree of air resistance. Air resistance is the result of collisions of the object's leading surface with air molecules. The actual amount of air resistance encountered by an object depends upon a variety of factors. (Physics Classroom) ....

Projectile Motion Experiment: Physics Garden Hose Practical
In this Garden Hose Practical our understanding of, and the theory of projectile motion are examined. Our main purpose is to act on a theory presented in the key ideas textbook by (Andrew Olesnicky and Neville Lawrence, 2008) and develop that theorem into an experiment which one can calculate the ....
