The formula to calculate Air Friction (Fair) is:
\[ Fair = 0.5 \times p \times V^2 \times C \times A \]
Where:
Air friction, also known as drag force, is the resistance force caused by the motion of a body through a fluid, such as air. The amount of air friction depends on factors like the speed of the object, the fluid's density, the object's cross-sectional area, and its shape, quantified by the air resistance coefficient.
Let's consider an example:
Using the formula to calculate Air Friction:
\[ Fair = 0.5 \times 1.225 \times 30^2 \times 0.47 \times 2.5 \approx 647.71 \, \text{N} \]
This shows that with the given parameters, the air friction acting on the object is approximately 647.71 N.
