Description:
An experimental setup with computer based measurements is introduced. It is possible to observe the object’s motionduring the fall and see how the limiting speed is reached. Due to the air drag, the motion changes from a constantaccelerated motion to a motion with constant velocity. Measurements of the motion of a falling object are done with agraphing calculator and an attached data analyzer. Time-position and time-velocity diagrams of the falling motion areproduced to determine the air drag’s influence.
