    How Do You Calculate Terminal Velocity for a Wooden Sphere Falling Through Air?

    Homework Statement (a) Estimate the terminal speed of a wooden sphere (density 0.870 g/cm3) falling through air, if its radius is 8.00 cm and its drag coefficient is 0.500. (The density of air is 1.20 kg/m3.) (b) From what height would a freely falling object reach this speed in the absence...
