Terminal velocity is the maximum speed reached by a falling object when air drag equals gravitational force. Different objects reach different terminal velocities.
चरण-दर-चरण मार्गदर्शिका
- 1Enter mass, drag coefficient, reference area, and fluid density
- 2The calculator applies F_drag = F_gravity at equilibrium
- 3Results show terminal velocity
हल किए गए उदाहरण
इनपुट
m = 75 kg human, C_d = 1.15, A = 0.5 m² (head down)
परिणाम
V_terminal ≈ 90 m/s (322 km/h)

सामान्य गलतियां जिनसे बचना है
- ✕Confusing terminal velocity with escape velocity
- ✕Using incorrect drag coefficient for object shape
अक्सर पूछे जाने वाले प्रश्न
Does terminal velocity depend on height fallen?
No, once terminal velocity is reached, speed remains constant regardless of further fall distance.
Can terminal velocity be exceeded?
Not in normal circumstances; acceleration becomes zero at terminal velocity. Powered descent can be faster.
