Question

When an object moves through the atmosphere it must overcome a force called aerodynamic drag, which exerts itself against the object. The drag force is given by
the following equation:

F = .5*Cd*A*?*V2

where F is the force ( newtons ) on the object that acts to retard its motion, Cd is an experimentally-determined number called the drag coefficient, A is the projected area of the object perpendicular to the direction of motion ( square meters ), ? is the density of the atmosphere through which the object moves (kilograms per cubic meter ), and V is the object

Explanation / Answer

Well the core function is fairly simple: double F(double cd, double A, double V) { const double rho = 1.23; return 0.5 * rho * cd * A * V * V; } Then, once you have values for cd and A, call it thus for (int v = 5; v
