1 answer
The best description of all 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.
This option includes the necessary factors: the weight of the object, the cross-sectional area it presents to the flow of air, and the density of the air, all of which are important in calculating terminal velocity.
