Can we assume that the coefficient of drag of a car model is constant using one of the values from:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drag_coefficient
The reason I ask this is because the coefficient of drag of a car varies with velocity. So wouldn't it change depending on how fast the car is moving?
Furthermore, I would like to use this to model the physics of a car using a differential equation which includes the drag force, thrust force, friction floor form floor and m*a. Is this a valid simulation?
