You will need to measure the radius by holding the string steady and stopping the revolution. You can time the period to find speed. | ||

Then measure the terminal velocity of the suitcase after dropping it from a helicopter (stand at the target, and point a radar gun straight up... if this doesn't work drop it alongside a large building or tower, and use markers alongside a stopwatch to find the average speed across that distance). Weight = constant times velocity squared This. A scale might be hard to find, but I'm sure there's a helicopter lying around somewhere for your experiment! Brb gonna try this now | ||

1. Fill the suitcase with whatever stuff she needs for the journey. 2. Go to the airport and let the luggage guy weigh the suitcase. 3a. <15kg: All good. 3b. >15kg: Hurl shoes at the luggage guy screaming "It is the farewell kiss, you dog!" until he lets her pass. | ||
