A new sport car has a drag coefficient of 0.29 and a frontal area of 20ft^2, and is traveling at 100 mi/h.
How much power is required to overcome aerodynamic drag if p = 0,0002378 slugs/ft^3?
Please help me with the steps as well. I really need help
Thank you so much guys.

Drag = 0.5 * Cd*p*v^2*S
Where Cd = Drag co-efficient
p = air density
v = speed
S = area
When you have the Drag force
Power = force * speed
Be careful of units e.g 100 mph = 146.67 ft/s
