The description that best encompasses all of the factors to consider when determining an object's terminal velocity is:
**the object’s weight and area it presents, as well as air density**
This option includes the object's weight (which affects gravitational force), the area it presents (which influences drag force), and air density (which affects the drag force experienced by the object as it moves through the air).
**the object’s weight and area it presents, as well as air density**
This option includes the object's weight (which affects gravitational force), the area it presents (which influences drag force), and air density (which affects the drag force experienced by the object as it moves through the air).
