We dropped coffee filters from 4.39 M recording the time it took for them to fall, and their masses as followed.
1 Filter- Mass= .86G, Time it took to hit the ground= 3.94s
2 Filters- Mass= 1.76g, Time it took to hit the ground= 3.25s
3 Filters- Mass= 2.72g, Time it took to hit the ground= 2.56s
4 Filters- Mass= 3.63g, Time it took to hit the ground= 2.06s
5 Filters- Mass= 4.56g, Time it took to hit the ground= 1.74s
I essentially need to find Air Resistance for all of the 5 tests, Constant of Air Resistance, Terminal velocity, and any other relevant variables, but am not sure what formulas to use as my teacher has not fully explained it to us or gave us the formulas, Thank You in advance.
