Which is the equation for terminal velocity?

The equation for terminal velocity is v = (2mg/ρACd)^1/2, where m is the mass of the object, g is the acceleration due to gravity, ρ is the density of the fluid, A is the cross-sectional area of the object, Cd is the drag coefficient, and v is the terminal velocity.

Did you know?

Did you know that the equation for terminal velocity is given by: v = sqrt((2mg)/(ρAC)) Where: - v represents the terminal velocity of an object in meters per second, - m is the mass of the object in kilograms, - g is the acceleration due to gravity in meters per second squared, - ρ represents the density of the fluid through which the object is falling (often air) in kilograms per cubic meter, - A is the cross-sectional area of the object facing the direction of motion in square meters, and - C is the drag coefficient, which depends on the shape and size of the object as well as the properties of the fluid. This equation helps us understand the maximum velocity an object can reach when air resistance counterbalances the gravitational force acting upon it, resulting in no net acceleration.
