1.A pickup truck is traveling down the highway at a steady speed of 31.1 m/s. The truck has a drag coefficient of 0.45 and a cross-sectional area of the truck is 3.3 3.3 m​2​​. Assume the density of the air is 1.2 1.2 kg/m​3​​. How much energy does the truck lose to air resistance per hour? Give your answer in units of MJ (megajoules).

2.An unknown object is placed inside of a spherical container and dropped from an airplane. When empty, the spherical container has a mass of 3.00 3.00 kg. The container has a drag coefficient of 0.500 and a diameter of 37.6 37.6 cm. With the unknown object inside, the container reaches a terminal velocity of 57.4 57.4 m/s. What is the mass of the unknown object? Use 1.22 1.22 kg/m​3​​for the density of air.
