INFO ABOUT CONTROLS, VARIABLES, BUTTONS, AND PICTURES BELOW DIAGRAMS -There is a cone on the right. This is the object that is being dropped. Most of the variables refer to the cone. -There is a man on the graph to give you a sense of scale. This also applies to how big the cone is. -The graph shows the path of the falling object, viewing time on the x axis and meters from the dropping point on the y axis. VARIABLES -Mass is the mass of the cone in kilograms. -Drag CE is the drag coefficient, basically changing the angle of the cone shape. It is unit-less. -CS Area is the cross-sectional area, which is the area of the base of the cone, in meters squared. -Air density is how many kilograms of air are in a cubic meter of space. -Gravity is the acceleration of the object when pulled by the force of gravity, in how many meters per second the object speeds up per second. -Terminal velocity the limit to how fast the object will be able to go before it stops accelerating BUTTONS -The arrows button displays handle bars on the graph to let you re-scale both the graph and the object. -The play button will drop the cone. You can pause it as well.
I made all of it with the help of 8th grade physics and my dad!
