The description that best describes all of the factors that need to be considered when determining an object’s terminal velocity is:
**the object’s weight and area it presents, as well as air density.**
Terminal velocity depends on the gravitational force (weight), the drag force which is influenced by the cross-sectional area (area presented by the object), and the density of the fluid through which the object is falling (air density).
