I am trying to locate the formula about how much heat an object gains when it is moving through the air, and not having much luck...anyone know?
I know it has something to do with the coefficient of friction between the object and air, and the velocity of the object...but need the specifics...

Thanks
 
you need to state wheather u need it to be affected by how dense the air is while falling, IE how high to how low.
the shape of the object matters, this is very complicated really and requries a lot of variables and formulas.
and yes, calculus

Click to expand...

Assume the same altitude. Lets say its a cube for example.

i'd assume surface area is very important, as well

Shows that you're a newbie.
i said its a cube. surface area of a cube = 6l^2
 
Ok so you have a "X" size cube moving horizontally in a straight line, correct?

And is this a vacuum type situation where gravity is irrelavant or will the objects path be an arc due to gravity?

Is it traveling at a constant velocity? or is there acceleration involved?




Brain overload......
 
Aiee whats wrong with you people why are you making it more difficult than it is
not a vacuum, i said AIR FRICTION
moving in a straight line at the same altitude... do not take gravity to affect. its a cube.
Whats the formula for calculating how much heat is gained by the friction between the air and the object (u = coeff. of friction) when it is moving at a speed v
 
Not a clue, I was just harassing ya, see how twerked I could get ya.







j/k I am trying to find it.



EDIT CIWS - non hardware
