Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A car with a frontal area of 3 m² and a drag coefficient of 0.3 is traveling at 30 m/s. Calculate the drag force acting on the car.

💡 Hint: Make sure to convert your units appropriately.

Question 2

If a cyclist can reduce their Cd from 0.9 to 0.6 by changing positions, quantify the potential speed increase if power output remains constant.

💡 Hint: Consider the relationship between power, velocity, and drag.
