Answer:

mass ,area , density and drag coefficient can affect the terminal velocity.

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know that terminal velocity is the velocity when the droplet reach on the equilibrium position or we can say that when force on the droplet get balance.

The terminal velocity v given as


v=\sqrt{(2mg)/(\rho AC_d)}

where

v=terminal velocity

m=mass

ρ = density

Cd=Drag coefficient

A=projected area

g=gravity

Therefore ,mass ,area , density and drag coefficient can affect the terminal velocity.
