Undergrad Experimental Derivation of the Drag Force
Ya that makes sense. Would it be correct to infer from the graph that the drag force is equal to: $F_drag=Dv^2$, where D is just a general drag constant? -

Undergrad Experimental Derivation of the Drag Force
That's obvious but from the graph that I have provided can I derive that mg=dv^2 where d is the drag constant? Or can I show that the proportionality constant is equal to g/d somehow? The graph shows the following: $$ {v_{\textrm{T}}}^{2} \propto m$$ and from this I want to show that... -

Would you be so kind to explain this a bit further. The graph I obtained is attached. -

Undergrad Experimental Derivation of the Drag Force
I am trying to experimentally derive the drag equation. I have dropped coffee filters with varying masses and determined their resulting terminal velocity. I plotted the data and found that the mass of the coffee filter is proportional to the terminal velocity squared. I was now wondering how I...
