Calculate the ratio of the drag force on a
business jet flying at 834 km/h at an
altitude of 10 km to the drag force on a
drone flying at 384 km/h at half that
altitude. The density of air is 0.28 kg/m3 at
10 km and 0.57 kg/m3 at 5 km. Assume
that the drone has half the effective
sectional area of the business jet and the
same drag force coefficient.
It is autumn. You look outside a window and see a maple leaf falling face down, in a straight vertical line. You estimate the speed of the leaf to be 25.77 cm/s.
You then pick up the leaf and do measurements. It has a mass of 2.76 g and a cross sectional area of 76 square cm. You measure the density of air to
be 1.298 kg m-³.
What is the drag coefficient between the leaf and the air? (numerical value only)
Number
(Hint: For an object to fall with constant speed, it must be at 'terminal velocity'.)
Calculate the ratio of the drag force on a jet flying at 900 km/h at an altitude of 10 km to the drag force on a prop-driven transport flying at one-fifth the
speed and half the altitude of the jet. The density of air is 0.38 kg/m3 at 10 km and 0.67 kg/m3 at 5.0 km. Assume that the airplanes have the same
effective cross-sectional area and drag coefficient C.

Where a person has to deal with currents in the water and air to propel themselves forward. In this problem, the water is moving at a velocity of 1.7 m/s directly in the direction you are trying to row. When considering this water, the area in contact with the water is .05 m^2, the drag coefficient is 1.02 with normal water density. You are moving at a velocity of 3 m/s, while the air is blowing against you with a velocity of 2.7 m/s (head wind). For the air, you have an area in contact of .5 m^2, and a drag coefficient of 1.75. Normal air density is present.

Use g=9.806 m/s² and an air density of 1.20 kg/m³. Enter the number only, without the unit.arrow_forwardLike friction, drag force opposes the motion of a particle in a fluid; however, drag force depends on the particle's velocity. Find the expression for the particle's velocity v(x) as a function of position at any point x in a fluid whose drag force is expressed as Fdrag = kmv where k is a constant, m is the mass of the particle and v is its velocity. Assume that the particle is constrained to move in the x-axis only with an initial velocity v0. Solution: The net force along the x-axis is: ΣF = -F = m then: -mv = m Since acceleration is the first time derivative of velocity a = dv/dt, -mv = m We can eliminate time dt by expressing, the velocity on the left side of the equation as v = dx/dt.
