For laminar flow, this force is proportional to velocity by (*) Stokes's law, and this force is responsible for an object's terminal velocity.
The coefficient associated with this phenomenon is typically no greater than 0.47, and the power required to overcome it is proportional to the product of that coefficient, cross-sectional area, density, and the cube of velocity. For laminar flow, this force is proportional to velocity by (*) Stokes's law, and this force is responsible for an object's terminal velocity. In aerodynamics, this force opposes thrust. For 10 points, name this force that opposes the velocity of an object moving through a fluid.
The coefficient associated with this phenomenon is typically no greater than 0.47, and the power required to overcome it is proportional to the product of that coefficient, cross-sectional area, density, and the cube of velocity.
