Formula and methodology
Formula: Ballistic coefficient β = mass/(drag coefficient × reference area).
The ratio describes mass relative to aerodynamic drag area in a simplified constant-coefficient model.
This result follows the calculator's declared inputs, precision, validation boundaries, and model limits.
Input contract
- Object mass — kg; minimum 1.0E-6; maximum 1000000
- Drag coefficient — minimum 1.0E-6; maximum 100
- Reference area — m²; minimum 1.0E-6; maximum 1000000
Worked example
| Input | Value |
|---|---|
| Object mass | 10 |
| Drag coefficient | 0.5 |
| Reference area | 0.01 |
Ballistic coefficient = 2,000 kg/m².
Assumptions and limits
- Mass, drag coefficient, and reference area are positive.
- The drag coefficient remains constant over the scenario.
- Shape regime, velocity, atmosphere, gravity, and trajectory are not modeled.
