Terminal Velocity

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=35Gl4JAgWuk

At over 2m tall this tube filled with water can help work out the terminal velocity of an object as it sinks through water. Using a #PASCO rotary sensory, we dropped a brass weight ( 25g) attached to a piece of string. As the ball fall it turned the motion sensor which in turn recorded the distance travelled, the velocity of the weight and its acceleration.
