Air Resistance Force Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Air Resistance = Air Constant*Velocity^2
F_a = c*v'^2
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Air Resistance - (Measured in Newton) - Air Resistance is a force that is initiated by air.
Air Constant - Air Constant is a constant defined for air.
Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Velocity is a vector quantity (it has both magnitude and direction) and is the rate of change of the position of an object with respect to time.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Air Constant: 0.2 --> No Conversion Required
Velocity: 60 Meter per Second --> 60 Meter per Second No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

F_a = c*v'^2 --> 0.2*60^2

Evaluating ... ...

F_a = 720

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

720 Newton --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

720 Newton <-- Air Resistance

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

How to Calculate Air Resistance Force?

Air Resistance Force calculator uses Air Resistance = Air Constant*Velocity^2 to calculate the Air Resistance, Air resistance force, also known as drag force, is the force exerted by air (or any fluid) opposing the motion of an object moving through it. This force acts in the direction opposite to the object's motion and increases with the object's speed. Air Resistance is denoted by F_a symbol.

How to calculate Air Resistance Force using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Air Resistance Force, enter Air Constant (c) & Velocity (v') and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Air Resistance Force calculation can be explained with given input values -> 720 = 0.2*60^2.

FAQ

What is Air Resistance Force?

Air resistance force, also known as drag force, is the force exerted by air (or any fluid) opposing the motion of an object moving through it. This force acts in the direction opposite to the object's motion and increases with the object's speed and is represented as F_a = c*v'^2 or Air Resistance = Air Constant*Velocity^2. Air Constant is a constant defined for air & Velocity is a vector quantity (it has both magnitude and direction) and is the rate of change of the position of an object with respect to time.

How to calculate Air Resistance Force?

Air resistance force, also known as drag force, is the force exerted by air (or any fluid) opposing the motion of an object moving through it. This force acts in the direction opposite to the object's motion and increases with the object's speed is calculated using Air Resistance = Air Constant*Velocity^2. To calculate Air Resistance Force, you need Air Constant (c) & Velocity (v'). With our tool, you need to enter the respective value for Air Constant & Velocity and hit the calculate button. You can also select the units (if any) for Input(s) and the Output as well.
