Explain about coin and feather experiment.
Answers
Explanation:
The “Coin and Feather” experiment is one of the best ways to dispel the “lighter objects fall more slowly” myth. ... The syringe vacuum pump (included) will bring the air inside the tube down to about 7% of atmospheric pressure, making the feather and the coin appear to drop at the same rate.
Explanation:
The “Coin and Feather” experiment is one of the best ways to dispel the “lighter objects fall more slowly” myth.
When the air inside the 75 cm tube is at atmospheric pressure, the feather (in this case a very visible piece of Styrofoam) falls significantly more slowly than the coin. The syringe vacuum pump (included) will bring the air inside the tube down to about 7% of atmospheric pressure, making the feather and the coin appear to drop at the same rate.
Includes
1x 3.8 cm diameter clear plastic tube with end caps
1x Coin and “feather” (Styrofoam)
1x Syringe vacuum pump
In a vacuum, the objects fall at the same rate independent of their respective masses. That means coin and feather both reach the ground at the same time in a vacuum. Larger objects experience more air resistance than smaller objects. Also, the faster an object falls, the more air resistance it encounters.
