Hi there, sorry for asking a question as my first post instead of contributing to the community however I have a problem which I just cannot seem to find an answer to.
I am trying to model the flight of a bullet when taking into account air resistance and I am using this equation to get the drag force of the bullet at certain velocities:
D = [itex]\frac{ρ*V^2*Cd*A}{2m}[/itex]
Where:
D is the drag force in newtons
ρ is the density of air (1.225 kg/m3)
V is the velocity of the bullet
Cd is the drag coefficient of the bullet (For this let's just assume it's 0.12)
A is the cross sectional area of the bullet (Also for this let's say it's 0.05m2)
m is the mass of the bullet (And lets assume this is 0.150kg)
How would I use the value of the drag force of the bullet to model the flight path over time?
In my head I'm sure it's something simple which I have studied before but I just can't think what it might be
Thank you in advance :)
