For those who think electric cars are sissy, Keio University inJapan has tested a 22-ft-long prototype whose eight electricmotors generate a total of 590 horsepower. The “Kaz” cruisesat 180 mi/h (see Popular Science, August 2001, p. 15). If thedrag coefficient is 0.35 and the frontal area is 26 ft2, what percentageof this power is expended against sea-level air drag?
The drag of an airfoil (Fig.) increases considerably ifyou turn the sharp edge around 180° to face the stream. Canyou explain this?
A new sports car has a drag corfficient of 0.30 and a frontal area of 21ft^2, and is traveling at 110 mi/h. How much power (in ft-lb/s) is required to overcome aerodynamic drag if air density is 0.002378 slugs/ft^2?
