Как да изчислим Terminal Velocity

Какво е Terminal Velocity?

Terminal velocity is the maximum speed a falling object reaches when air resistance equals gravitational force. It depends on mass, cross-sectional area, and drag coefficient.

Формула

v_terminal = √(2 × m × g / (ρ × A × C_d))

Ръководство стъпка по стъпка

1Enter mass, drag coefficient, cross-sectional area
2Enter fluid density and gravitational acceleration
3Calculate terminal velocity from the formula

Worked Examples

Вход

m = 80 kg, A = 0.5 m², C_d = 1.2, ρ = 1.2 kg/m³

Резултат

v_t ≈ 52 m/s

~187 km/h or 116 mph for human skydiver

Common Mistakes to Avoid

✕Wrong drag coefficient for shape
✕Using height instead of area
