A high speed car with a mass of 2000 kg and drag coefficient of 0.3 has a frontal area of 1 m2. The car deploys a 2-m diameter parachute to slow down from initial velocity of 100 m/s. The drag coefficient for parachute may be assumed to be 1.2. Assuming constant drag coefficient, free brakes and no rolling resistance, obtain the correct value of the velocity of the car after 10 seconds after parachute is deployed.

The car shown in the figure below moves at a constant speed on a highway and has a drag coefficient Cpc of 0.32 with the windows and roof closed. What is the percent increase of horsepower needed to maintain the speed if the windows and roof are then opened? With the windows and roof open, the drag coefficient increases to Cpo = 0.43. Assume the frontal area remains the same. Windows and roof closed: CD=CDc Windows open; roof open: C₂=CDo
