In our exploration of how weights influence the descent of a paper whirlybird, we observed that varying the amount of weight attached to the whirlybird significantly impacted its falling speed and stability. When lightweight models were tested, they descended slowly and swirled gracefully, allowing for a longer flight time. In contrast, adding more weight caused the whirlybird to drop more quickly, often resulting in a less stable trajectory and a more erratic spin. Ultimately, this experiment highlighted the relationship between weight and descent dynamics, demonstrating that heavier whirlybirds tend to fall faster but with diminished control compared to their lighter counterparts.
