Question

Carter is running a 400 m race around a 400 m track. On the backstretch
his velocity is 8 m/s,but he is running into a 2 m/s headwind. How large is the drag force that acts on Carter? Assumethat the density of the air is 1.2 kg/m3, that Carter’s cross-sectional area is 0.5 m2, and that thecoefficient of drag for Carter is 1.1.

Answer 1

The Drag Equation

v = 10
