Πώς να υπολογίσετε το Terminal Velocity

Τι είναι το Terminal Velocity;

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

  1. 1Enter mass, drag coefficient, reference area, and fluid density
  2. 2The calculator applies F_drag = F_gravity at equilibrium
  3. 3Results show terminal velocity

Worked Examples

Εισαγωγή
m = 75 kg human, C_d = 1.15, A = 0.5 m² (head down)
Αποτέλεσμα
V_terminal ≈ 90 m/s (322 km/h)

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Confusing terminal velocity with escape velocity
  • Using incorrect drag coefficient for object shape

Frequently Asked Questions

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.
