TerminalVelocityGUI

Demonstration of terminal veolcity reached by a sphere for three different variables

You are now following this Submission

An object reaches terminal velocity after accelerating initially, when falls through a fluid. In this project different variables can be used to see their influence on terminal velocity. Laws of fluids are used here to visualize the change in velocity and acceleration as the drag force changes.

Note: Making the time interval very small and the duration of fall very large may take a long time for the simulation.
