I have decided that I will perform experiments changing shape. And that the medium I will use will be water, not air.
But I am stuck how I am going to be able to make these objects. Clearly cardboard won't work because it does not sink and it is difficult to change its shape. I was thinking...
Hi haruspex. Thanks for the suggestion. So when I change the shape, I change the drag coefficient which in turn influences the terminal velocity, right?
This is definitely a good option. Any other ideas people? If not, then I can always try to do this option.
Hi. I decided a month or so ago, that I am going to do my physics extended essay on the topic of terminal velocity.
However, at the moment I am not sure what experiment I can do. At the beginning I thought I would do an experiment where I would drop bodies made of cardboard with different...
