    Calculating Parachute Work and Distance for Slowing Down a Car

    i'm trying to figure out the work done by a parachute to slow down a car and so far i have come up with: W = F_{d} * d F_{d} = C_{d} ρ A_{f} V^{2}/2 and i have equated the loss of kinetic energy to the work done by the parachute, since the velocity is not constant and therefore the work...
