This equation computes the terminal velocity, the maximum velocity a falling object will achieve due to gravity while falling through a fluid. 

Inputs are:

  • m - the mass of the object
  • k - the proportionality constant which is dependent on the object's size and shape and the fluids resistive properties.

Notes
