How did Gandalf kill the Balrog of Moria?

The Balrog of Moria probably could not have been killed by a simple fall from a mountainside, but that is just a guess based on an earlier passage where Gandalf describes his faceless encounter with a powerful foe at the entrance to one of the doors to the Chamber of Mazarbul: Suddenly at the top of the stair there was a stab of white light.

What happened to the Balrog in The Lord of the Rings?

The burst of power and the collapse of the roof of the chamber is something beyond the capabilities of any other members of the Fellowship; and Gandalf merely comes “flying” (running) down the stairs. Presumably the Balrog survived the explosion and cave-in as well.

What is the terminal velocity of Gandalf’s fall?

Terminal velocity for a free falling human is between 50 and 70 meters per second (depending on a lot of things). Early in that sequence we see Gandalf diving head first to catch up with the Balrog, so he was probably falling at the higher end of that range.
