... ads one to believe that there is a limit to the terminal velocity. This would imply that once a larger mass is added, a ôterminalö terminal velocity (for want of a better definition) is achieved beyond which a parachute cannot accelerate. This is presumably due to the lesser effect of air resistance at higher masses. À The same pattern can be seen average velocities, but obviously going up rather than down, but to a lesser extent. Quite obviously, the average acceleration graph, however inaccurate it may be, is to an even lesser extent. Evaluation À As was said in the Notes section above, it would be highly preferable to be able to calculate the final velocity, and even better the terminal velocity. The final velocity could be calculated with the use of computer sensors to measure the velocity in the last, say, 10cm. In order to calculate the termi ...
