I need help with air resistance...

1 answer:

3 0

Mar 4, 2004 #1 FabioTTT the formula: R = (.5)DpAv^2 is used to determine how much air resistance (resistive force) is being placed on the object. R is the Resistive force. D is some dimensionless empirical quantity called the drag coefficient p is the density of air A is the cross-sectional area of the object (surface area) v is velocity My question is, is the density of air some constant that should be already given to me? also, how would i go about finding the drag coefficient? I'm asking this because in physics we're doing a lab in wich we drop a cofee filter... and we record its time to reach a certain height (which im guessing is to be able to calulate for the terminal velocity). So in other words, I have all of these variables except for R, D, and p. Can anyone help me out? Phys.org - latest science and technology news stories on Phys.org

Answer:

The second law: When a force is applied to a car, the change in motion is proportional to the force divided by the mass of the car. This law is expressed by the famous equation F = ma, where F is a force, m is the mass of the car, and a is the acceleration, or change in motion, of the car
