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.

How much energy would it take to raise a can of soda (m = 350 grams) to average cruising altitude (35,000 ft)? Our textbook states that a gallon of gasoline contains 1.2×108 Joules of energy. Assuming 100% efficiency, how many gallons of gasoline would it take to raise the can of soda to 35,000 ft? A calorie is the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 Celsius degree (4.186 J). A nutritional Calorie is actually 1000 calories (1 Cal = 1 kcal). How many Calories of energy does it take to raise the can of soda to cruising altitude?

Suppose you purchase a 4 x 8 piece of plywood from Home Depot. You don't have a pickup truck (nor does your friend), but you do have a roof rack with cross bars on your car. So you will have to secure the plywood to the roof rack in order to get it home. Your friend (the one who does not have a pickup truck) suggests that you tie the plywood on sideways (so that the short edge is front to back) and drive at about 13 mph. Use standard sea-level conditions = 0:0023769 slugs/ft3 and = 3:7372 107 slugs/ft*s.(a) Estimate the drag on the plywood for the case suggested by your friend.(b) Estimate the drag on the plywood if you turn the sheet so that the long edge is front to back.(c) Explain why your friend suggested the sideways configuration
