Terminal Energy Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the terminal energy is:

$\text{TE} = \frac{1}{2} \cdot m \cdot tv^2$

Where:

TE is the Terminal Energy (Joules)
m is the mass (kg)
tv is the terminal velocity (m/s)

What is Terminal Energy?

Terminal energy refers to the kinetic energy of an object moving at its terminal velocity. This energy is calculated based on the mass of the object and its terminal velocity.

Example Calculation

Example:

Mass: 10 kg
Terminal Velocity: 15 m/s

Step 1: Calculate the terminal energy:

$\text{TE} = \frac{1}{2} \cdot 10 \cdot (15^2) = 0.5 \cdot 10 \cdot 225 = 1125 \text{ joules}$
