= the (square of the velocity (m/s) * drag coefficient ) newtons
if terminal velocity is known (forces balanced , no further acceleration), drag coefficient can be found.
say terminal velocity(tv) = 70 m/s, acceleration due to gravity(g) = 9.8 m/s^2,
mass(m) = 80kg
m * g (force down) = tv^2 * drag coefficient (force up) at terminal velocity
then
m * g / tv^2 = drag coefficient
80 * 9.8/4 900 = 0.16

some (typical) drag coefficients:
family car = 0.45
motorcycle = 0.25
freefaller = 0.15
note: velocity is in metres per second

What is and upward force of air against a moving object?
The upward force is drag.
Why does buoyant force act upward on an object submerged in water?
The greater the pressure against the bottom of a submerged object produces an upward buoyant force
Is an upward moving object experiencing an upward force?
If the object is moving upwards with a constant velocity, there is only one arrow in the diagram, and it points straight down, due to gravity. If it has a force pulling upward on it, there are two arrows, one up, due to the force, and one down, again, due to gravity.
What force is the upward force exerted on any object in a fluid?
The upward force exerted on an object in a fluid is buoyancy.
The net upward force that a liquid exerts on a submerged object is?
The upward force exerted by a liquid on a submerged object (or even on a floating object) is called buoyancy.
What is and upward force of air against a moving object?
The upward force is drag.
What is an upward force of air against a moving object?
air resistance
Is the upward force of air against a moving object?
air resistance
What is the upward force on a moving object with a lift at a rate of 17m per s?
If the object is moving at a constant speed, the net force on it is 0. So the upward force would have to be equal to the downward force (namely the weight of the object).
Why does buoyant force act upward on an object submerged in water?
The greater the pressure against the bottom of a submerged object produces an upward buoyant force
Is an upward moving object experiencing an upward force?
If the object is moving upwards with a constant velocity, there is only one arrow in the diagram, and it points straight down, due to gravity. If it has a force pulling upward on it, there are two arrows, one up, due to the force, and one down, again, due to gravity.
What force call against moving object?
Friction. Opposing Force
What force is the upward force exerted on any object in a fluid?
The upward force exerted on an object in a fluid is buoyancy.
When the buoyant force on a submerged object is more than the weight of the object?
The net force on the object is upward, so the object accelerates upward in the fluid.
What is the magnitude of a force of 117.4 moving upward and another force of 74.1 moving downward?
the magnitude is 43.3 and the direction is upward.
The net upward force that a liquid exerts on a submerged object is?
The upward force exerted by a liquid on a submerged object (or even on a floating object) is called buoyancy.
What is the upward force that water exerts on objects?
buoyancy is the upward force that water exerts on an object. :)
