What factors affect terminal velocity?

I've got air resistance, and I'm coming up blank on the rest. :headscrat

Terminal velocity, V = sqrt [(2 * W) / (Cd * ρ * A)]

W = object's weight
Cd = drag coefficient (the more streamlined an object, the lower its drag coefficient)
ρ = air density
A = object's cross-sectional area
