Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A model of a car tested in a wind tunnel has a drag force of 200 N. If the scale ratio is 1:10, what would be the drag force on the full-scale car?
💡 Hint: Understand the effect of area in drag calculations.
Calculate the power required to overcome drag if the drag force is 150 N and the car's velocity is 30 m/s.
💡 Hint: Power is the product of force and velocity!
