How it works
Fill in the 4 fields above and Terminal Velocity Calculator calculates the result instantly, recalculating as you change any value. It applies the formula v = √(2mg / ρ·A·Cd). The math runs locally in your browser — nothing is sent to a server.
Formula
v = √(2mg / ρ·A·Cd)Examples
- Mass 80 kg, Cross-sectional area 0.7 m², Drag coefficient 1 → Terminal velocity: 42.78 m/s
