Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Terminal speed is the maximum speed an object can reach when falling through a fluid, in this case, air. It depends on the mass of the object, its orientation, the acceleration due to gravity in the local area, and the density of the fluid. Therefore, all of the choices are correct.
