hi, everyone.
something iv been pondering recently, is there a set speed at which something burns up in the air/atmosphere, or is it more to do with the surface area of the object traveling through the air, which would mean more of a drag force which means that the extra energy transforms to heat which causes the burn up? which would mean its more of a material and design problem for burning up in the air/atmosphere?
any relevant information would be great. thanks
