The terminal velocity of a raindrop that is 4.00 mm in diameter is approximately 8.50 m/s under controlled, windless conditions. The density of water is 1.00×103 kg/m3. Recall that the density of an object is its mass divided by its volume. If we model the air drag as being proportional to the square of the speed, Fdrag=cv2, what is the value of c? Note 1 millimeter (mm) = 0.001 m
During the 400 m race in question 5, Callie is now in the homestretch. Assume that the density of the air is 1.2 kg/m, that Callie’s cross-sectional area is 0.5 m2, and that her coefficient of drag is 1.1. Her velocity is still 8 m/s, but she now has a 2 m/s tailwind. How large is the drag force acting on Callie now?

The shuttlecock experiences air resistance with a drag coefficient of 0.2742 in an environment where the air density is 0.6066 kg/m3.

A student suggests that the force of air resistance FA depends on the relative speed of an object passing through the air v according to FA = kvN, where k is a constant with appropriate units that depends on properties of the air and the size and shape of the object and N is a dimensionless exponent. The student has a hollow ball made of two hemispherical shells that can be connected together and disconnected, along with access to other commonly available materials. Write an experimental procedure that the student could follow to make measurements in order to find the value of N, and explain how a graph of In(FA) vs. In(v) could be used to find the values of k and N.
