Serc: Calculating Air Resistance Using the Monte Carlo Method

Curated by ACT

Young scholars will use Vernier motion detector and Logger Pro software to first discover if air resistance of an industrial size coffee filter is a vtm or vt2m relationship (vt = terminal velocity). Once this relationship is found it will be used to calculate the air resistance constant with error bars. The error of air resistance constant will be found using the Monte Carlo method.
