Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze terminal velocity of a spherical ball in the liquid viscosity experiment. The analysis was performed using a simple calculus approach. Using the limit of v (t) as t approaches infinity (t → ∞) and the asymptotic value (v(t) = ∞) as well as the differential and integral operations, the terminal velocity can be estimated. The time to reach the terminal velocity and the distance traveled by a spherical ball can also be determined. Therefore, the factors that affect the terminal velocity, the time to reach that velocity, and the distance traveled can be analyzed. Such information may be used to improve the design of the experiment.
