Question:
Calculate the drag force on a bullet that is 5.0 mm in diameter and moving at a speed of 600 m/s. If the mass of the bullet is 10 g, compare this force to the weight of the bullet and to your own weight. Assume the drag force on the bullet is given by Equation 3.20.
Equation 3.20
ma - ΣF - Fgrav + Fdrag

In Physics, a force is an influence that can change the motion of an object. A force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity, i.e., to accelerate. Force can also be described intuitively as a push or a pull. A force has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector quantity. In this video, the concept of force and torque is demonstrated with the practical application of changing the flat tire of the car.
