Jeff, I think i know what you're talking about now-you meant the air is being moved by the object moving through it, correct? So then the aerodynamic drag being spoken of by Mike is the resistance of the air. I learned that back in jr high watching NASCAR and learning about drafting, but for...

But if the air is not moving(no headwind or tailwind), how does the air have momentum?

Oh wow-that is WAY more complicated than I thought it would be! haha! So basically, would I be safe assuming that it depends on the momentum of the vehicle which in turn depends on weight?

Weight of Air Pressure... How much air pressure (in lbs) is being exerted on the front of a vehicle per MPH it travels? I know all vehicles are shaped differently, so we'll focus on the license plate. -No headwind, tailwind or any other wind -Vehicle is traveling at sea level -Vehicle is...
