calculate_terminal_velocity

Calculate terminal velocity by balancing drag and weight forces for objects falling through fluids. Input mass, area, fluid density, and drag coefficient to determine maximum falling speed.

Instructions

Calculate terminal velocity when drag equals weight.

At terminal velocity, forces balance: F_drag = F_weight v_terminal = √(2mg / ρC_dA) Args: mass: Object mass in kg cross_sectional_area: Area perpendicular to fall direction in m² fluid_density: Fluid density in kg/m³ (air=1.225, water=1000) drag_coefficient: Drag coefficient (sphere=0.47, skydiver=1.0) gravity: Gravitational acceleration in m/s² (default 9.81) Returns: Terminal velocity, time to 95%, and drag force at terminal Example - Skydiver terminal velocity: result = await calculate_terminal_velocity( mass=70, # kg cross_sectional_area=0.7, # m² (belly-down position) fluid_density=1.225, # air drag_coefficient=1.0, # human ) # v_terminal ≈ 54 m/s (120 mph)
