About Terminal Velocity
===About Terminal Velocity===
'''Terminal velocity''' depends on:
*The [[density]] of an [[object]] - The more [[dense]] an [[object]] the greater the '''terminal velocity''' because larger [[object]]s (of the same weight) will experience greater [[Air Resistance|air resistance]] at a given [[speed]].
*The shape of an [[object]] - The more [[streamline]]d an [[object]] the greater the '''terminal velocity''' because they experience less [[Air Resistance|air resistance]] at a given [[speed]].
: '''Terminal velocity''' is the maximum [[velocity]] an [[object]] will reach when falling due to [[gravity]].
