3.) Automotive engineers work very hard to improve the value of the drag coefficient for cars. Suppose you have a car with a mass of 3000. kg and an effective surface area of 4.00 m^2. The engine can generate a maximum force of 28,000. N. Let the coefficient of kinetic friction be 0.200, and the coefficient of static friction be 0.400. Air has a density of 1.21 kg/m^3. (back on earth) (3a) Draw a free-body diagram for your car, including both drag and friction, when the car is moving at its maximum velocity. (3b) If the maximum value of your car's velocity is 150.0 m/s, then what is the drag coefficient for the car? (3c) Suppose your engineers change the drag coefficient to 0.300 - what would be your maximum velocity then with the same force from your engine.
In this era of expensive fossil fuels, many alternativeshave been pursued. One idea from SkySails, Inc., shownin Fig. is the assisted propulsion of a ship by a largetethered kite. The tow force of the kite assists the ship’spropeller and is said to reduce annual fuel consumptionby 10–35 percent. For a typical example, let the ship be120 m long, with a wetted area of 2800 m2. The kite areais 330 m2 and has a force coefficient of 0.8. The kite cablemakes an angle of 258 with the horizontal. Let Vwind =30 mi/h. Neglect ship wave drag. Estimate the ship speed(a) due to the kite only and (b) if the propeller delivers1250 hp to the water. [Hint: The kite sees the relativevelocity of the wind.]

Tip: Start by calculating the force the engine has to exert.
