Drag coefficient

www.physics.usyd.edu.aud is the drag coefficient. The only factor here that can be influenced by the player is the ball velocity. If the ball was a flat, circular disk, the drag coefficient would be 1.0. But a ball has a rounded nose which streamlines the air flow and reduces the drag. For a relatively new tennis ball, C d is about 0.55. A used ball experiences

www.dept.aoe.vt.eduHere we see that the drag coefficient is nearly constant at subsonic speeds and tends to rise just before Mach = 1. The biggest variation is in the neighborhood of Mach 1, called the transonic region. Above that region, say about Mach 1.2, the 2-D drag coefficient tends to be constant or it could increase or decrease slightly.

web.physics.wustl.eduFigure T1.2 shows the trajectory of a baseball with and without air drag. The radius of the baseball is r = 0.0366 m, and A = pr2. The mass is m = 0.145 kg, and we have chosen the drag coefficient to be C = 0.5 (appropriate for a batted ball or pitched fastball) and the density of air to be = 1.2 kg/m3 (appropriate for a ball-park at sea level).

DRAG COEFFICIENT OF A CYLINDER - sv.20file.org
sv.20file.orgDrag is the component of a force acting on a body that is projected along the direction of motion. Both shear forces and pressure induce drag on a body in motion. Shear forces, known as skin friction drag, are more significant in streamlined objects, while the pressure drag is more significant in blunt objects [5]. Fig. (1) shows the net drag ...
