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

Question

Responses

the object’s weight, length, and width

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

air density and the object’s drag coefficient

the object’s weight and area it presents

Answer 1

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).
