Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A racing car with a frontal area of 1.8 m² travels at a speed of 80 km/h. Calculate its drag force if the air density is 1.2 kg/m³ and the drag coefficient is 0.3.

💡 Hint: Ensure all units are consistent before calculation!

Question 2

Discuss how varying the diameters of an object, while keeping its length constant, influences drag forces encountered in fluid environments.

💡 Hint: Reflect on how shapes interact with fluid dynamics and the elements involved.
