    The document contains data from an experiment measuring the terminal velocity and weight of 4 balls with different masses. A graph shows weight on the y-axis and velocity times distance on the x-axis, with a linear trendline. The gradient of the trendline equals the constant K in the equation W=Kxvxd, relating weight, velocity times distance, and a proportionality constant. The constant K is calculated to be 141.
