Terminal velocity (disambiguation)
- Terminal velocity (disambiguation)
Terminal velocity may refer to the following:
*Terminal velocity, (a) the final speed (usually an impact speed) achieved by an object at the end of its path (where gravity, applied physical acceleration and dragging effects may all play a part), and (b) in skydiving, the maximum speed achievable for a given object's atmospheric freefall, at which deceleration due to atmospheric friction counteracts further acceleration due to gravity, and no further acceleration occurs - this is now the more common usage.
* "Terminal Velocity" (film), a 1994 film starring Charlie Sheen.
* "Terminal Velocity" (video game), a 3D action game published by 3D Realms in 1995, but unrelated to the movie of the same name.
* "Terminal Velocity" (novel), a novel by Blanche McCrary Boyd.
