Shopping on line can be easy, simple and save you lots of money. It can also take a lot of your time, frustrate you, and result in unwanted purchases. Now the same can be said for regular high street shopping, but with the vast opportunity presented by the Internet it will pay you to spend a few minutes reading this and understanding how to better optimize your Drag Equation shopping experience:

1. Compare - without doubt the biggest advantage that the Drag Equation offers shoppers today is the ability to compare thousands of Drag Equation at a time. This is a great thing, but not necessarily all the time! Too much can be daunting at times so take advantage of the great comparison sites and where possible let them do the hard work for you.

2. Research - if it has been said it will be on the internet. Ignorance is no longer a justifiable reason for buying the wrong thing. Take the time to research in detail everything that you could possible want to know about

3. Testimonials - don't know anybody that has bought a Drag Equation? Wrong! If the Drag Equation is good the internet will let you know. Use the Internet as a friend and get testimonials before you buy.

4. Questions - Got a question about Drag Equation then search the Forums, FAQ's, Blogs etc. Don't be afraid to ask .....

5. Reputation - Never heard of the company selling Drag Equation? Don't worry, no reason why you should know every company in the world, but you know someone that does! Use the internet to find out what people are saying about Drag Equation and build up a picture of their reputation for sales, returns, customer service, delivery etc.

6. Returns - still worried that even after all of the above your Drag Equation wont be what you want? Check out the returns policy. There is so much competition now that someone, somewhere is bound to offer the terms that you are comfortable with.

7. Feedback - happy with your Drag Equation then let people know, after all you are depending on others people input in your buying decision, so why not give a little back.

8. Security - check for the yellow padlock on the Drag Equation site before you buy, and the s after http:/ /i.e. https:// = a secure site

9. Contact - got a question about Drag Equation, or want to leave a comment then check out the sites contact page. Reputable companies have them and respond.

10. Payment - ready to pay for your Drag Equation, then use your credit card or PayPal! Be aware of companies that don't accept them, there may be genuine reasons but given the huge amount of choice you have when buying online there is no reason at all not to buy via credit card or PayPal.

The drag equation is a practical formula used to calculate the force of drag (physics) experienced by an object due to a fluid that it is moving through. The equation is attributed to Lord Rayleigh, who originally used L^2 \ in place of A \ (L being some linear dimension). The force on a moving object due to a fluid is:

\mathbf{F}_d = {1 \over 2} \rho \mathbf{v}^2 C_d ADrag (physics) derivations

where Fd is the force of drag, ρ is the density of the fluid (Note that for the Earth's atmosphere, the density can be found using the barometric formula. Air is 1.293 kg/m3 at 0°C and 1 atmosphere (unit)), v is the velocity of the object relative to the fluid, A is the reference area, and Cd is the drag coefficient (a dimensionless number constant, e.g. 0.25 to 0.45 for a car).

The reference area A is the area of the projection of the object on a plane perpendicular to the direction of motion (ie cross section (geometry)al area). Sometimes different reference areas are given for the same object in which case a drag coefficient corresponding to each of these different areas must be given. The reference for a wing would be the plane area rather than the frontal area.

Discussion The equation is based on an idealized situation where all of the fluid impinges on the reference area and comes to a complete stop, building up Pressure#Stagnation pressure over the whole area. No real object exactly corresponds to this behavior. Cd is the ratio of drag for any real object to that of the ideal object. In practice a rough unstreamlined body (a bluff body) will have a Cd around 1, more or less. Smoother objects can have much lower values of Cd. The equation is precise--it simply provides the definition of Cd (drag coefficient), which varies with the Reynolds number and is found by experiment.

Of particular importance is the v² dependence on velocity, meaning that fluid drag increases with the square of velocity. When velocity is doubled, for example, not only does the fluid strike with twice the velocity, but twice the mass of fluid strikes per second. Therefore the change of momentum per second is multiplied by four. Force is equivalent to the change of momentum divided by time. This is in contrast with solid-on-solid friction, which generally has very little velocity dependence.
