Newton's sine-square law of air resistance
ID: newton-s-sine-square-law-of-air-resistance
Newton's sine-square law of air resistance refers to a principle in fluid dynamics that characterizes the drag force acting on an object moving through a fluid, such as air. While not as commonly used as other drag equations, the sine-square relationship is an extension of the basic drag equation, which typically considers drag force proportional to the square of the velocity.
