I know that if an object moves in the air, it can experience two types of drag, laminar and turbulent. For instance, I have a meteor of ideal spherical shape falling from edge of space, say, 100 km up at the Earth surface with initial velocity of 1 km per second. I would consider turbulent drag, but is it still applicable at supersonic velocities? How do I estimate meteors velocity when it hits the ground?
