To maintain a constant speed, the force provided by a car's engine must equal the drag force plus the force of friction of the road (the rolling resistance). The density of air is 1.2 kg/m3. (a) What are the drag forces in newtons at 80 km/h and 105 km/h for a Toyota Camry? (Drag area = 0.70 m2 and drag coefficient = 0.28.) at 80 km/h N at 105 km/h N (b) What are the drag forces in newtons at 80 km/h and at 105 km/h for a Hummer H2? (Drag area = 2.44 m2 and drag coefficient = 0.57.) at 80 km/h N at 105 km/h N

Toyota Camry

     F_d = 51.852 N

     F_d = 100.042 N

Hummer H2

     F_d = 412.0888 N

     F_d = 8351.755 N

Explanation:

Given:

- The density of air p_air = 1.2 kg/m^3

- The drag force equals car's engine force.

Find:

- What are the drag forces in newtons at 80 km/h and 105 km/h for a Toyota Camry? (Drag area = 0.70 m2 and drag coefficient = 0.28.)

- What are the drag forces in newtons at 80 km/h and at 105 km/h for a Hummer H2? (Drag area = 2.44 m2 and drag coefficient = 0.57.)

Solution:

- The formula for drag force is given as follows:

                                 F_d = 0.5*C_d*p_air*A*V^2

Where,

A : The drag Area  m^2

C_d: The drag coefficient

V: Velocity  m/s

a)  Toyota Camry

                  C_d = 0.28 , A = 0.70 m^2 , V = 80 km/h = 22.222 m/s

Then compute the F_d drag force:

                  F_d = 0.5*0.28*1.2*0.70*(22.22)^2

                  F_d = 51.852 N

                 C_d = 0.28 , A = 0.70 m^2 , V = 105 km/h = 29.1667 m/s

Then compute the F_d drag force:

                  F_d = 0.5*0.28*1.2*0.70*(29.1667)^2

                  F_d = 100.042 N

b)   Hummer H2

                 C_d = 0.57 , A = 2.44 m^2 , V = 80 km/h = 22.222 m/s

Then compute the F_d drag force:

                  F_d = 0.5*0.57*1.2*2.44*(22.22)^2

                  F_d = 412.0888 N

                 C_d = 0.28 , A = 0.70 m^2 , V = 105 km/h = 29.1667 m/s

Then compute the F_d drag force:

                  F_d = 0.5*0.57*1.2*2.44*(29.1667)^2

                  F_d = 8351.755 N

physics means: "the branch of science concerned with the nature and properties of matter and energy. the subject matter of physics, distinguished from that of chemistry and biology, includes mechanics, heat, light and other radiation, sound, electricity, magnetism, and the structure of atoms."
