6A) The aerodynamic drag of a car, Fdrag, is a function of surrounding air density ρ and viscosity μ, velocity of the car V, and length of the car L. Using ρ, V, and L as repeating variables, express this relationship in dimensionless form.

6B) The aerodynamic drag of a new sports car is to be predicted at a speed of 100 km/hr at an air temperature of 25°C. Automotive engineers build a one fifth scale model of the car to test in a wind tunnel. It is winter, and the wind tunnel is located in an unheated building; the temperature of the wind tunnel air is only about 5°C. Determine how fast the engineers should run the wind tunnel to achieve similarity between the model and the prototype.

(sorry my teacher not provide diagram)

Expert Solution

Hence engineers should run wind tunnel with a speed of 442.54 km/hr to achieve dynamic similarity between prototype and model.

There are several types of drag on a car other than air resistance. Effects having to do with the squeezing of the tires (rolling resistance) and frictional forces in the drivetrain (the system that transfers energy from the engine to the rotation of the wheels) also must be taken into account. Engineers use the following equation to model the total force due to these different effects Fdrag=A+Bv+Cv2Fdrag=A+Bv+Cv2 For a Camry, these coefficients are estimated to be A=117.130A=117.130 N, B=1.800 N...

Uncertainty calculation  I want to determine the air density (ρ, in kg/m3) using the following equation. p=(1/R)*(P/T) where P : barometric pressure, in Pa T: temperature, in K R: specific gas constant for dry air, 289.7 J/(kg·K) [assume constant has no uncertainty]  I performed a sample-to-sample experiment with 6 repetitions/samples (n = 6). I got following results: P = 96,389 ± 167 Pa T = 311.8 ± 2.93 K  The tags on the sensors show the barometric...

If a satellite is in a sufficiently low orbit, it will encounter air drag from the earth's atmosphere. Since air drag does negative work (the force of air drag is directed opposite the motion), the mechanical energy will decrease. If Edecreases (becomes more negative), the radius r of the orbit will decrease. If air drag is relatively small, the satellite can be considered to be in a circular orbit of continually decreasing radius. Part A A satellite with mass 2590...
