I think I figured out where I went wrong. d = yi/sin 10 making w = Fdcos 180 = -Fd = -F(yi/sin 10) This would give me the following equation: -F(yi/sin10) = (1/2mvf^2 - 1/2mvi^2) + (mgyf - mgyi) Then solve for F. F = 3608N

[SOLVED] Average force of air resistance In early test flights for the space shuttle using a "glider" (mass of 1500kg including pilot), it was noted that after a horizontal launch at 750km/h at a height of 4500m, the glider eventually landed at a speed of 300km/h. What would it's landing speed...
