How does the Terminal Velocity Calculator work?

Enter mass, drag coefficient, reference area, and fluid density Then: The calculator applies F_drag = F_gravity at equilibrium Then: Results show terminal velocity.

Can you give an example of how to use the Terminal Velocity Calculator?

Example: Input m = 75 kg human, C_d = 1.15, A = 0.5 m² (head down) gives a result of V_terminal ≈ 90 m/s (322 km/h) (Skydiver record).

Is the Terminal Velocity Calculator free to use?

Yes — completely free with no registration, download, or subscription required. All calculations happen instantly in your browser.

How accurate is the Terminal Velocity Calculator?

Our Terminal Velocity Calculator uses verified mathematical formulas and is accurate to multiple decimal places. Results are calculated in real-time using the same methods used by professionals.

Terminal Velocity Calculator

Terminal Velocity

Mass (kg)

Drag Coefficient

Fluid Density (kg/m³)

Reference Area (m²)

Terminal velocity is the maximum speed reached by a falling object when air drag equals gravitational force. Different objects reach different terminal velocities.

Difficulty:intermediate

⭐

Did You Know?

Raindrops reach terminal velocity quickly (9 m/s) due to small mass and high drag, which is why heavy rain doesn't hurt despite falling far.
