a Golf ball of with a mass of 45g and diamter 4.3cm reach terminal speed when dropped from a height of 25m, the drag coefficient is 0.35 and the density of air is 1.2kg/m^3.

using the formulavt=sqrt(2∗mgCpA)

vt=sqrt(2∗(45g)(9.8m/s2)(.35)(1.2kg/m3)(0.043m))

so pluggeed that into my calculator, and found the terminal speed of 220.99m/s.
