A group of students performed an experiment to test terminal velocity, which is the greatest speed obtained by a falling object. The students dropped different numbers of coffee filters and measured the resulting terminal velocity. Data Table: Mass (g): 1.01, 1.99, 3.02, 4.0, 5.01; Terminal Velocity (m/s): 1.74, 2.48, 3.04, 3.50, 3.80. Which of the following conclusions is supported by the data?

This statement is a general principle of terminal velocity; however, it does not specifically relate to the data provided in the experiment. While it reflects the concept of equilibrium between forces, it does not draw a conclusion from the specific data about coffee filters and their terminal velocities.

This statement implies that heavier objects attain their maximum speeds faster than lighter ones. While heavier objects may reach higher terminal velocities, the data does not provide information about the time taken to reach terminal velocity, making this conclusion unsupported by the experiment.

Although heavier objects do have a higher terminal velocity, the term "fall faster" could be misleading as it suggests a comparison at the same time frame. The data shows that while the terminal velocities increase with mass, it does not imply that heavier objects continuously fall faster than lighter ones before reaching terminal velocity.
