    When is the equation FD = 1/4 AV^2 false and what is the error in the equation?

    Thanks for your reply. But it was like a bonus question kind of thing, why 1/4 AV^2 instead of the other equation, he said the 1/4 will work for any speed less than speed of sound and uses normal air and something. And he said 1/4 is not the error that # is precise, so the problems got to be in...

    Understanding Drag Force: Standard Formula vs. Alternative Formula Explained

    I know that standard formula is, FD = 1/2 CD *ApV^2 FD = Drag Force. SI: N CD = Drag Coefficient. SI: Dimensionless (Typical Values) A = Coss-sectional Area perpendicular to the flow. SI: m2 r = Density of the medium. SI: kg/m3 v = Velocity of the body relative to the medium. SI: m/s...
