Which of the following descriptions best describes all of the factors that need to be considered when determining an object’s terminal velocity?(1 point)

Question

Responses

air density and the object’s drag coefficient
air density and the object’s drag coefficient

the object’s weight, length, and width
the object’s weight, length, and width

the object’s weight and area it presents, as well as air density
the object’s weight and area it presents, as well as air density

the object’s weight and area it presents

Answer 1

The best description that encompasses 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 addresses the weight (which affects gravitational force), the area (which influences drag force), and air density (which affects the amount of air resistance).
