New physics video works out falling time for coffee filters

Original: New # physics video. Finding the time for falling coffee filters. This one has it all - air resistance, forces, MISTAKES

A physics educator has released a new video analyzing how long it takes coffee filters to fall, using the classic classroom demo of dropped filters to explore air resistance and forces. The video walks through the calculations with Python and openly includes mistakes made along the way, a teaching style the author says shows how real problem-solving works.

Why now: Physics educators and students are sharing a fresh explainer on a well-known air-resistance demonstration
