Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A 10kg object falls through air with a drag coefficient of 0.8. If the terminal velocity is achieved at a speed of 50 m/s, calculate the buoyant force acting on it.

💡 Hint: Start by calculating the weight of the object and relate it to drag.

Question 2

Analyze how altering the shape of a vehicle could decrease drag forces encountered while in motion at high speeds.

💡 Hint: Think about why sports cars and airplanes have their specific designs.
