The formula to calculate the terminal energy is:
\[ \text{TE} = \frac{1}{2} \cdot m \cdot tv^2 \]
Where:
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:
Step 1: Calculate the terminal energy:
\[ \text{TE} = \frac{1}{2} \cdot 10 \cdot (15^2) = 0.5 \cdot 10 \cdot 225 = 1125 \text{ joules} \]
