Homework Statement
Aristotle believed that the time it takes for an object to fall a given distance is inversely proportional to its weight. Given objects A,B,C and D with weights of 10,40,20 and 30 grams, which one would have the heights terminal velocity if dropped from the same height?
The Attempt at a Solution
I was done to object A (10g) and B (40g). The answer was object B.
My question is:
1)Terminal velocity is referred to when mg = Fdrag?
2) I see that time takes longer for object A than B, so how can I equate this to terminal velocity?
