A trajectory or flight path is the path that a moving object follows through space as a function of time. A trajectory can be described mathematically ... more
where Vt is the terminal velocity, m is the mass of the skydiver, g is the acceleration due to gravity, Cd is the drag coefficient, ρ is the density of the fluid through which the object is falling, and A is the projected area of the object.
