A Toyota Prius has the following attributes: Drag Coefficient Ca = 0.24, Frontal Area Af = 25.83 ft?, weight = 3064 lb, and Speed = 90 mph. Use air density p = 0.002378 slugs/ft3. The vehicle from problem 2 above is travelling down a 4% grade on pavement located at 5000-ft altitude (p = 0.002045 slugs/ft?) with its maximum speed. Overall resistance for the motion of the car at maximum speed is overcome with a power of 28hp. Determine the...
The drag coefficient of a car is to be determined experimentally with a full scaleWind tunnel test in a large wind tunnel. The wind speed is60 mih 00 km/h (60 mi/h) and the drag force measured on a scale as shown in the adjacent drawing is 302 N (68 lbf). The frontal area of the car is 2.068 m2 (22.26 ft2) Neglect any ground effect due to the floor not moving relative to the car (a) Calculate the drag coefficient...

The answer is given as V = 60.3 mph, but no solution is provided The aerodynamic drag on a car depends on the shape of the car. For example, the car shown in Fig. 3 has a drag coefficient of 0.36 with the windows and roof closed. With the windows and roof open, the drag coefficient increases to 045. With the windows and roof open, at what speed is the amount of power needed to overcome aerodynamic drag the same...
Consider a Porsche 911 sports car with a mass of 1900 kg. The air drag force at highway speeds can be approximately calculated as: F_drag = 1/2 C p Av^2 where p = 1.2 kg/m^3 is the density of air, A is the front area of the car, C is the drag coefficient and v is the velocity. For the Porsche 911, we can take A - 2.3 m^2 and C = 0.28. What is the power necessary to overcome...
