Specified practical work — Specified practical work – terminal speed of a falling object
WJEC specifies investigation of terminal speed; current WJEC teaching material uses paper cake cases and varies mass while measuring a terminal-speed fall.
Interactive Practical · GCSE Physics
Terminal speed
Drop stacks of paper cake cases from 2 m, time the falls by hand three times each, and see how the terminal speed depends on the mass.
This simulation supports preparation and data-analysis practice. It does not replace carrying out real practical work.
